Transcript
00:00You're the matchmaker.
00:01What are you doing at the singles table?
00:03Dance with me.
00:05The genre of romance, it's very easy to dismiss it as girl shit.
00:09But the truth is that love affects all of us.
00:13Materialis is a love story.
00:15It's about Lucy, who is a very good matchmaker.
00:18She just wants people to find love.
00:21Hey, are you single?
00:22Give me a call if you want to meet somebody.
00:24But she's pretty shut off to it herself.
00:26Lucy M, the eternal bachelorette.
00:29I'm gonna die alone.
00:30Back in 2016, I worked as a matchmaker.
00:32When I would talk to people about what they're looking for,
00:35they would talk to me in numbers.
00:36Nothing over 20 being like.
00:38Someone 27, 28.
00:39There's a funny contradiction between the way we talk about dating as a value system
00:44and how I know love works.
00:46Not gonna marry him, are you?
00:48Why not?
00:50This story explores that pull between what your head says and what your heart says.
00:55Lucy, being the pragmatist that she is, passed away those concerns, comfort, stability.
01:01Celine subverts the genre of romantic comedy and she captures these whole characters that we can all relate to.
01:08Celine has brought back this magic and nuance to rom-coms.
01:14It's so well written that it feels delicious.
01:16I'm always trying to make a movie that I want to watch.
01:19And to me, Materialist is made for the audience in 2025.
01:27To talk about love and the way that it exists today is completely worthy of cinema.
01:32the story of cinema.
