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".

The Model Couple
Much like William Klein's other films, The Model Couple has a very strong message attached. Of course, being a William Klein film also means the strength of the plot is sacrificed for the message. An interesting film, but the message wasn't compelling or entertaining enough for me. Though, I rather liked the sets, costumes, and the two leads.
