Abstract

The article focuses on Celine Song's film "Materialists," which reimagines Edith Wharton's themes of class anxiety and emotional emptiness within the context of modern dating culture. Topics include Song's cinematic influences and intellectual approach to romance, the film's critique of algorithmic relationships and superficial social ambition, and its portrayal of a protagonist whose hollow pursuit of status mirrors the moral vacuity of contemporary love.
