The Model Couple
''Le Couple témoin'', released in English as ''The Model Couple,'' is a 1977 French and Swiss film by William Klein. It is a satire of consumerism and modernity, and follows the events of a national experiment where a "model couple" representing the typical French pair is subjected to constant surveillance as they undergo experiences both mundane and absurd. Themes Originally intended as a piece of a larger production, ''The Model Couple'' is a satire that is critical of mass media, technology and government surveillance, and investigates the ways in which liberal societies can become oppressively totalitarian. Despite these heavy themes, the film's tone is largely slapstick, interspersed with psychedelic sequences. Plot In 1970s France, Jean-Michel (André Dussollier) and Claudine (Anémone) are chosen by the Ministry of the Future to be the "model couple", a heterosexual pair to be used as test subjects in order to create "a new city for the new man" in the year 2000.
