| The Model Couple (Le couple temoin) |
An 'average' couple volunteer to inhabit a futuristic "happiness-capsule" apartment undergoing constant psychological testing and televised surveillance - all for the national good - in this comically prescient science fiction farce.
Guileless newlyweds Jean-Michel (Andre Dussolier) and Claudine (Anemone) find themselves in social experiment mayhem as Klein wittily dissects reality TV mania, bureaucratic delusions of grandeur and scientific sadism run amok.
Fabulous 1970s production design and the director's freewheeling embrace of heightened genre styling wraps this caustic critique of oppression in a biting, comic verve.
