Model Shop
Maybe Tomorrow. Maybe Never. Maybe.
Directed by Jacques Demy
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A melancholic, deliberately ambiguous romance between two drifting, unhappy strangers in Los Angeles, built on fleeting connection and the uncertainty of whether anything will come of it.
While trying to raise money to prevent his car from being repossessed, George is attracted to Lola, a Frenchwoman who works in a "model shop", an establishment that rents out beautiful pin-up models to photographers. George spends his last twelve dollars to photograph Lola, and discovers that she is as unhappy as he.
