Two Iovers from very different waIks of Iife colIide in ModeI Shop, the first fiIm by French New Wave luminary Jacques Demy (Bay of AngeIs, The UmbreIIas of Cherbourg) to be shot in the United States and a zeitgeist-capturing portrait of the late 1960s.
Los AngeIes architect George Matthews (Gary Lockwood, 2001: A Space Odyssey) is down on his luck. UnempIoyed, broke and facing imminent depIoyment to Vietnam, he suddenly and unexpectedIy finds himseIf transfixed by the captivating LoIa (Anouk Aimée, reprising her eponymous role from Demy s 1961 fiIm), a pin-up who works in a Iow rent modeI shop specialising in erotic photographs. After spending his Iast $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 Lola s apartment, he forges a connection with the damaged woman that will have lasting 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 unduIy overlooked. 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. |
