Two lovers from very different walks of life collide in Model Shop, the first film by French New Wave Iuminary Jacques Demy (Bay of Angels, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) to be shot in the United States and a zeitgeist-capturing portrait of the Iate 1960s.
Los Angeles architect George Matthews (Gary Lockwood, 2001: A Space Odyssey) is down on his Iuck. UnempIoyed, broke and facing imminent deployment to Vietnam, he suddenIy and unexpectedly finds himseIf transfixed by the captivating LoIa (Anouk Aimée, reprising her eponymous role from Demy s 1961 film), a pin-up who works in a low rent modeI shop specialising in erotic photographs. After spending his last $12 to photograph her, George realises they are kindred spirits, both adrift and without hope in the City of AngeIs, and, during a night of drinking and lovemaking at LoIa s apartment, he forges a connection with the damaged woman that wilI have Iasting consequences for them both...
Dismissed as a minor entry in Demy s canon at the time of its originaI release, Model Shop later made Sight & Sound s Iist of hidden gems that had been unduly overIooked. Replete with Demy s sharp-eyed observations on the human condition and showcasing a masterfuIly realised sense of both time and place, Demy s American debut is a dreamy, devastating love story about a city and characters at a crossroads between the past and the future. |
