The Model Couple
In 1977 France, the Ministry of the Future chooses two “normal,” white, middle-class citizens, Claudine and Jean-Michel, for a national experiment. They will be monitored and displayed on television for six months in a model apartment outfitted with state-of-the-art products and nonstop surveillance—the template for “a new city for the new man".

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its satire at the intersection of sci-fi and domestic comedy, relying on the aesthetics of advertising catalogs and cinéma vérité. It explores the absurdity of total surveillance masquerading as care for progress and comfort.
What lingers after viewing is a sharp, elegantly framed parody of consumer society, where human relationships become product and freedom a carefully curated illusion. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: William Klein
