Model documents the harrowing attention to detail required by the men and women posing for TV commercials, fashion shows, print advertising, magazine covers, and ads for products that include designer collections, fur coats, sports clothes, and automobiles. The film presents a view of the intersections of fashion, business, advertising, photography, television, and fantasy. "He highlights the mad perfectionism of TV commercial-makers--rehearsals, retakes, huge crews, anxieties, tantrums, and exhaustion--all for a few seconds of film selling hosiery" (The New Yorker). 1980, U.S., BW, 16mm, 129 minutes.
