Materialists marks the return of the New York City romantic comedy, featuring Lucy, a matchmaker portrayed by Dakota Johnson, who navigates a complicated love triangle involving Harry (Pedro Pascal) and her ex, John (Chris Evans). The film showcases a whirlwind tour of New York's most scenic spots, curated by production designer Anthony Gasparro and set decorator Amy Silver, both deeply connected to the city. Their work, alongside Celine Song's vision, aims to depict NYC as a living, breathing character that influences the romantic escapades of the protagonists.
Amy Silver: "I live in New York. I live in Brooklyn. I've lived here for about 30 years, and I've lived in like 12 different neighborhoods."
Anthony Gasparro: "I'm currently living in Los Angeles, but I am a New Yorker through and through. I was born in the Bronx and lived in New York City since like '89..."
"Celine Song's vision was to portray New York City not just as a backdrop, but as a character itself shaping the romantic dynamics of the film."
"Materialists takes the viewer on a whirlwind journey through New York's most tasteful venues, showcasing the city's vibrant culture amidst the love triangle."
