Body Ciało

Małgorzata Szumowska / Poland / 2015 / 92 min / Polish

As a coroner, Janusz undertakes precise research, analysing the crime scene in minute detail. Yet when faced with his anorexic daughter Olga, still grieving for her dead mother, he feels helpless. Fearing that she might kill herself, he commits her to a clinic where Anna, a psychologist, carries out her duties. Years before, Anna lost her baby to cot-death and now sequesters herself and her big dog in a heavily barricaded flat and conjures up spirits who communicate with the living from beyond the grave.

An extraordinary and innovative Polish creation exploring three highly dissimilar topics in a blend of dark comedy and psychological drama: mourning for the dead, anorexia and acknowledging the existence of ghosts. Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival.

"I wanted to make a film about anorexics. I thought about it for a long time but then gave up this idea as I felt that this theme would be so hermetic and closed that it would not reach the audience. However, the plot about the plot about Olga’s character and the idea that a body has a lot of different meanings were still present in my mind. A body – physical, astral, dead – might be treated as an object, might be adored and hated. So this story has emerged from the material that the body is." (Małgorzata Szumowska)

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.
