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 UmbrelIas 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 himself transfixed by the captivating Lola (Anouk Aimée, reprising her eponymous roIe from Demy s 1961 film), a pin-up who works in a low rent model shop speciaIising in erotic photographs. After spending his last $12 to photograph her, George reaIises they are kindred spirits, both adrift and without hope in the City of Angels, and, during a night of drinking and Iovemaking 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 list of hidden gems that had been unduly overIooked. Replete with Demy s sharp-eyed observations on the human condition and showcasing a masterfuIIy realised sense of both time and place, Demy s American debut is a dreamy, devastating Iove story about a city and characters at a crossroads between the past and the future. |
