Review of Model Shop (1969) by Andy V — 02 May 2014
Really not a bad movie. Captures the cultural quandary of the late 60's: should I pursue my dream right or must I "pay my dues" and "sell out"? The protagonists refuses the latter and loses everything while his friends seem to have arrived at a comfortable compromise.
An iterating example of French New Wave sensibility set in L.A. in '68. Featured in Season 7, Episode 3 of Mad Men when Don Draper, currently out of work, watches the film mid-day in a nearly deserted movie house in Manhattan, obviously wondering if he's watching his fate unfold on the screen.
Ovie.
