Le couple témoin

William Klein, André Dussollier, Anémone, Michel Colombier

In 1977 France, the Ministry of the Future chooses two "normal", white, middle-class citizens. Claudine and Jean-Michel, for a national experiment. They will be monitored and displayed on television in a model apartment outfitted with state of the art products and non-stop surveillance. A searing satire of the breakdown of individual freedoms in the face of increasing governmental invasions of privacy, The Model Couple deftly investigates the fine line between democracy and totalitarianism
