We're lucky this is on camera, or no one would believe it.
The third and final film included in the Eclipse set The Delirious Fictions of William Klein is The Model Couple, which Klein wrote, directed and co-photographed in 1977. A self-proclaimed "cautionary tale," it tells the story of an average French couple (André Dussolier and Anémone) chosen by the Ministry of the Future to live in an experimental living space for six months to help make it more user-friendly. The only problem is they're under constant surveillance, which makes them self-conscious and less than cooperative whenever the psycho-sociologists monitoring their every waking hour (Zouc and Jacques Boudet) come around to poke and prod them (and attach electrodes to sensitive areas).
Wait, did I say "the only problem"? In actual fact, the experiment causes the couple nothing but problems, starting with the inequitable division of labor (Anémone is stationed in the high-tech kitchen while Dussolier is employed as a product tester) and progressing through such indignities as being gawked at by total strangers who poke their noses into evening, criticized by television pundits, and subjected to all manner of psychological tests. They even have a visit from the government minister in charge of the program (Georges Descrières) sprung on them at the last minute, and his guest, eminent psycho-futurist Eddie Constantine, also seems intent on getting a rise out of them. Is it any wonder that it all comes crashing to a halt soon afterward? Sure, it takes the intervention of a group of kids posing as terrorists, but Dussolier and Anémone were already ready to pull the plug.
