Model

Restored version of a cult 80s film dedicated to the everyday life of models: what is seen and what is not.

Although fashion has assimilated it as something natural, the profession of modeling is incredibly strange: chance grants you genetic advantages that fit the prevailing beauty standards, and brands pay you to embody a dream. In silence. Without speaking. Without giving an opinion, if possible. Documentarian Frederick Wiseman, heir to cinéma vérité, focuses on the endless dead hours of this job, observing the nobility and simplicity found in moments when we believe no one is watching. We witness photo shoots, indiscreet remarks, travels, and meetings with illustrious pop figures like Andy Warhol and Apollonia van Ravenstein.
