Architecton Architecton

Viktor Kosakovski / Germany, USA, France / 2024 / 98 min / Italian, English

An epic, intimate and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centring on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations.

“We live in an era of cement, concrete, and sugar—inside our bodies, sugar is killing us in the same way modern architecture is destroying our cities. These substances come fast and cheap, but we don’t see the big picture. For thousands of years, people knew the value of the things they made—they cut one big stone and knew it would remain forever. But today’s architects cannot imagine the future. They don’t know what to build in the centre of a city because the world is changing so fast. We don’t know what kind of buildings we’ll need in 20 years, so there is no vision.” (Victor Kossakovsky)

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
