Dollhouse Dollhouse

Kirsten Sheridan / Ireland / 2012 / 95 min

Through skilful employment of improvisation director Kirsten Sheridan follows five teens on an unruly ravaging adventure, a process of achieving knowledge of oneself and understanding of one another.

Five young people break into a house when the owners are away. They are like aliens amidst the clean, stylish environment and modern fittings. Their urge to demolish seems to know no bounds as they burn a trail of destruction through the pristine rooms with their expensive furniture and decor. After hours of dedicated devastation in a bizarre caricature of family life, the boy next door turns up at their door. His presence seems to dramatically change the group dynamics; alongside the seemingly unbridled aggression hidden secrets slowly surface.

The reason I wanted to make this kind of film is to explore what I see as a new world, a lost world that teenagers seem to inhabit these days, no necessity in their lives, no responsibility and therefore no centre to their existence.« (Kirsten Sheridan)

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.
