Plots(1)
Young small-town girl Emma travels to Paris, the capital of fashion, in order to realise her dreams of becoming a model. Life as an aspiring model is far from glamourous, with envious roommates, humiliating working conditions and brutal photographers. On a shoot, she meets star photographer Shane and what starts out as disharmony of the highest order is quickly transformed into a passionate romance, which in turn becomes a dangerous obsession for Emma. In 2012, Mads Matthiesen's debut Teddy Bear competed for a Dragon Award at GFF and now, just as then, an amateur actor is at the very epicentre of the film. The elegant The Model is a feast for the eyes: Paris looks divine, as do the models and the photography locations. But this is also a painful reminder of the naivité and scarce logic of the teenage years. (Göteborg Film Festival)
