Model Shop
Demy brings a sadder but no wiser Lola to a Los Angeles not usually depicted on screen.
- Tue 24 Nov 20:40 NFT2 book
Filming in English for Columbia, Demy brings a sadder but no wiser Lola to a Los Angeles not usually depicted on screen: drab, enervating, industrial. A ravishing though tired Anouk Aimee works in a tawdry pay-to-photo 'model shop' where she meets 'Nam-bound burn out architect Gary Lockwood. Distances and barriers abound: an alienatingly spread out Los Angeles, emotional and geographical distance, the model shop cameras. Cult band Spirit play themselves.
