Was pleasantly surprised to see/hear that Cat Power's 2012 song "Manhattan" (from her album Sun) plays at the beginning of the film (after an introductory scene) ... and showing Dakota Johnson walk by Cooper Union.
It's a great song and video, with a few shots from the East Village (where Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, once lived).
And here is the video, released in April 2013...
"Materialists" has a solid soundtrack with original music by Japanese Breakfast... as well as songs like "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory" by Johnny Thunders and "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" by The Velvet Underground, among others.
In an interview with Spotify, "Materialists" writer-director Celine Song discussed the importance of music in her creative process.
Music is in the DNA of the film from the script phase. I write with music on, and usually I play one song on repeat — for "Materialists," the song on repeat was "Andalucia" by John Cale.
Song's previous film, the Oscar-nominated "Past Lives," was partially filmed in the East Village, as noted here.
