The Model Couple(1977)

The Model Couple is a 1977 French film that imagines a chilling social experiment. The Ministry of the Future selects Claudine and Jean-Michel, an ordinary middle-class couple, to live under constant surveillance in a state-of-the-art apartment. For six months, their daily lives are broadcast on television as a template for "a new city for the new man"—a utopian vision that quickly reveals its dystopian underbelly. As cameras document their every move and products surround them, the couple grapples with the loss of privacy and autonomy. The film explores how institutional control masquerades as progress, turning intimate domestic life into public spectacle. A sharp critique of surveillance culture and conformity wrapped in a provocative premise about the price of belonging to the perfect society.
