“Materialistic,” Celene songsFollowing for “Past Lives”, offers a clear look at how wealth and financial condition affects modern dating. Lucy (Dakota johnson) There is a matchmaker whose customers often have strict income expectations for their fictional partners, as Lucy themselves. She wants the stability of wealth, and she knows it. This is the one who is trying to the rare world of upper class new Yorkers.
The depiction of New York’s geography film provides its own examination of socio -economic differences. “The film is about all classes, and the neighborhood that everyone talks to their classroom, such as immediately, sets the decorator Amy Silver (” The Begible, “” On the Rocks, “” The Mastermind “).
There are various apartments shown in the film, and a loud contradiction between the interior of a penthouse related to Harry (Pedro Pascal) and shares with shabby Digs are absurd with John (Chris Evans) roommates, and are true to life.
Silver worked to create an apartment space with a frequent associate, production designer Anthony Gaporo (“type of kind,” “the mastermind”). Talked with this pair Diversity To break how they placed the apartment shown in the film together, in which each living place says what the lifestyle of the character says – and also how much they think that character pays in rent. In addition, they turn into places for weddings and ador offices.
Lucy’s apartment
Place: Brooklin heights
Fare Estimate: $ 3,200/month
The script was originally living in Lucy Greenpoint, according to Gaporo, but was not worked at any place there. The team also saw Williamsburg to settle on Brooklyn Heights. “This Brooklyn Heights is not appropriate. It is Brooklyn Heights, between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill,” Gyperoo is called. Lucy’s place was one of the previous places that the team found because they were looking for something that felt unique from other Rome-Com-Com the films.
Seriously, it should have “something that he was able to tolerate,” says Silver. “But his apartment was considered a lot. You don’t see it a lot in the film, but what you see was a lot considered and designed.”
And the decoration should have been “options that he could tolerate”. “Maybe she may have spent a little extra money on the table, but IKEA was a flatware. She is probably not spending a lot of time, so it is definitely on the small side. And we use as a place to avoid the fire, which she probably goes and simply reflects or happens a cigarette.”
The favorite details of silver from all sets are makeup desk where Lucy sits at the beginning of the film. He found that desk at Hudson, NY. “This is a desk that belonged to Norman Rockwell,” says Silver. “It was really beautiful, Victorian-Ish, a kidney-shaped desk white with a mirror top, an antique mirror with silver top. And it was very beautiful. And I felt so good that there was only one thing in his apartment that had any kind of age on him.”
Both artisans insist how small the space was. “It was like the size of a laptop. It was great that Shabier Kirchen – would not say the director of a lot of photographs because it is too young – but he really hugged how small it was,” Gesparo says. “And how did it understand what Amy was speaking, like,” Okay, what can she really tolerate? “We were trying to be as realistic as possible, as she says she makes $ 80,000 a year.
Lucy’s decision to live in that neighborhood indicates the aspirations of wealth, even if it is not much home. “Brooklyn Heights are also actually a rich neighbor, but she lives on the outskirts. So I think (how) she lives in an apartment who talks to those who have money,” says Silver.
“She also wants to be close to a metro, and she does not want to be on the outer boro because she wants to be close to Manhattan and Ador Office,” says Gaporo. “Even if she can get a big apartment doubled in Sunset Park, she will never settled for her. She wants a small apartment who is close to Manhattan’s vibe.”

Harry’s penthouse
Place: Tribe
Fare Estimate: He owns the apartment.
With Harry’s $ 12 million penthouse, the team needed to “find something with” a richness and beauty, which was going to say who Harry was as a character. For this, there is a sophistication. It’s almost Besk.
He saw something with the right scale and shape to accommodate long -term filming, especially within the bedroom, living room and kitchen. It was difficult to find something in that situation, but once they were located, “We knew that it was going to be one of the tent pillars about how the rest of the film was going to see,” Gaporo says.

Harry’s penthouse is real, and in fact the family lives at that place. Went through silver and removed anything that seemed to be the family-oriented, so that it could be converted into a graduate pad. She describes the style of Harry’s place as a “cool luxury”.
“The apartment had a lot of neutrals mostly and had really talked to a design sensitivity since the 2010s, and in fact there were a lot of special antiquities. There were many Italian lighting and Charlotte Periand Scones of the Wall,” Silver says. “Any big name was not advertising designers, but everything was quite special there, and was expensive.”

The team was actually not able to make anything at the location in addition to a new headboard and bed to Harry’s bedroom, which was necessary since being filmed in that room for some time. “We were limited with what we were able to do because the walls were plastering, so we could not put anything on the walls. So Amy had the idea of building this huge headboard and was being brought inside again. Beautiful sheets And for that all beds, ”says Gespar.

John’s apartment
Place: Sunset park
Fare Estimate: $ 3,400/month among all roommates
John’s apartment was actually built in a studio in Long Island City, although the outer sunset park. Song shared pictures of a place where her husband, Justin Curitzx, won in the east, as a reference point for chronic apartments. “We also had a great crew, great construction, beautiful crew that used to keep it together. So we continued to build all this and kept tearing that there would be many roommates coming out with many roommates in those apartments across the city,” says Gaspro.
The artisans tried to include details that show that “what a very traditional, lazy landlord will do,” they say, including: a paint-over intercom, ugly sconus, pipe with paint peeling off and a run-down air conditioner.
“This is actually an apartment that you can only imagine people in New York, will dare to live, such as there is no living room. There is just a strip of wall and a couch, and a bathroom,” Silver says. “(John’s) apartment was the best in the house, as he lived the most there, so he had those windows.”
Silver is remembered of scraper to touch the correct decoration. “It was really fun to achieve the cheapest things we could find in the Home Depot, IKEA, Salvation Army, and somehow looks aesthetic, but also shows a dump. I mean, he steps on condom. And he tells a lot of story. This type of apartment,” Silver.
At one point, John stands on the sink in the bathroom and cannot find a mirror to close it. This springs are open, no matter how many times it pushes it back. This detail was in the script, says Gespar. “Amy got the right mirror, and then we just did a little – in fact, no, I think it came in this way. Finally, we did not even have to give it any kind of rigging,” they say.
During the process of bringing the apartment into life, the team mapped the entire location with tape. “We will tape where the sink will, where he will step on the condom, where the kitchen will be. So we really kept it as this huge, the scale blueprint, and we will walk through it and Shabier,” Gespro says. “And then we originally designed it from the ground, and then made sure that the camera was around and the right amount for everything to happen, and we really put it on the small side, so it certainly read the cramps and dingi.”
Silver says that “it was not like a imagination that it likes to live in New York. It was actually very real, such as, it is that there is not a lot of money at this location, which do not keep too much money at this place, in which it is almost impossible to live.”
Sophie’s apartment
Place: West village
Fare Estimate: $ 6,800/month
Sophie lives in a two-bed, “One of the most beautiful roads in the city of New York” describes two-bath, silver. That road is world famous, thanks to Carrie Bradshaw.
“I think this is’ two houses from the famous house in sex and the city.” Perry Street. “He spent a little more money. He had more money than Lucy, so he had more of the built-in. He had a big table. He had a little more sophisticated meaning, or had more space to settle in his apartment, while Lucy had to sit out to persecute a lot.
Viewers mostly see Sophie’s kitchen, but even this glimpse is correlated with what we know about the character. “The idea around his space was that he had money, but he was also an empty slate. The beauty in that apartment was also very extra, but he had good things that probably had a slightly more mainstream than Lucy’s apartment, (which was more full of Idiosyncratic furniture. Sophie’s apartment was very simple and very good and very good.”
other location
“Materialist,” of course, shows the culture of marriage and all its grandeur. “All in weddings all in Midtown, around Central Park, like the Classic New York City, ever you watch a film, when you watch Central Park and Fifth Avenue, not Midtown which is by Herald Square, but close to the Central Park, which is a little more upscale,” Gasproo is called “Gsparo.
Think: Plaza Hotel. Gaporo recalls how the film was shot during the extreme wedding season, which banned their location options. “We had to combine some hotels to see that it was a site,” he says.
For Lucy’s workplace, Edor: “We always thought that it would be somewhere the city of Central New York, which has a vibrant type of heartbeat and a great place,” Gasproo says. “So we decided to shoot in Soho. But we were also looking around Union Square.”
Additional Filming Spot: “Many places for restaurants were also in Tribeca or Lower Manhattan. And then John’s world, theater, like his apartment, all were located in other parts of Sunset Park or Brooklyn. And then we have Central Park,” Gespro says.
