Larry Karaszewski on

Model Shop

Released 1969
Distributor Columbia

French director Jacque Demy’s first American production (shot a year after his homage to Hollywood musicals, The Young Girls of Rochefort) stars Gary Lockwood, just coming off of 2001: A Space Odyssey. But the real star of Model Shop is LA itself; the film is a veritable time capsule of the city in the late sixties (Demy had wanted to title the film “Los Angeles-1968”). As Lockwood’s star-crossed lover, Anouk Aimée reprises her title role from Demy’s bittersweet romance, 1961’s Lola.
