New Interview of Dakota with Deadline at the 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival

“This place looks Disneyland,” says Dakota Johnson admiringly. It’s her first visit to Karlovy Vary, and her attempts to take in the local sights and delicacies have been sadly scuppered by the sheer number of sightseers on the spa town’s picturesque main drag. “It was kind of hard to get around, so I went to the gym instead,” she recalls. She does, however, admit to having tried absinthe — an extra-strong local spirit also known as The Green Fairy — the night before. “It burned my nose,” she says. “Is it healthy? I only had a mouse-sip.”

Johnson has two films at the festival, Celine Song’s surprise sleeper Materialists and Michael Angelo Corvino’s Cannes hit Splitsville, both female-skewed, adult romcoms set in the modern world of relationships. Though she jokes about her dark side (“I would love to play a psychopath”), right now Johnson has found herself in a good groove. “I’m so interested right now in romance and love,” she says, “and how it can help people and save people and ignite some hope in people’s hearts.”

New Interview of Dakota with Variaty at the 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival

“Madame Web” star Dakota Johnson, attending the Karlovy Vary Film Festival where she is set to receive the event’s prestigious President’s Award, is close to locking in final details for her directorial feature debut.

Speaking with Variety in the Czech spa town, the actor says her debut is a project “very close to her heart.” The film is one she is working on alongside “Cha Cha Real Smooth” co-star Vanessa Burghardt, who she calls “an incredible autistic actress.”

“I’ve always felt that I’m not ready to direct a feature,” she continues. “I don’t have the confidence, but, with her, I feel very protective and I know her very well. I can see this world, so I just won’t let anybody else do it. That’s the real answer.”

On top of receiving the award, the “50 Shades of Grey” alum is at the festival with two films: Celine Song’s three-hander romance “Materialists,” in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, and Michael Angelo Covino’s Cannes-sensation “Splitsville,” which she also produced under her TeaTime Pictures banner.

INTERVIEW

In Materialists, Dakota Johnson's matchmaker must choose between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.

We squeeze onto a sofa with the trio to discuss love and money.

Give anyone the task of naming the most influential, charming stars of today, and odds are Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal would make that list. Who better to bring them together in a thorny love triangle than film director Celine Song, who brings them together—directed by decades of unfulfilled desire.

Materialists is more than just a trope role-reversal. All three actors take up roles that tantalising all the same: Johnson plays Lucy, a calculating art market economist who’s working as a matchmaker. Chris Evans plays one of the men, bright, good looking and some of their shared history makes him more difficult to resist. Pedro Pascal plays the other. It’s a classic romantic triangle, given a fresh edge by Song’s deeply felt perspective on love and longing. (Which you may remember if you saw her breakout Past Lives.)

The trio sit down in a North London studio to discuss their chemistry on set, how the film reflects their relationships to money and love—and why the best scenes are the ones that sneak up on you. Johnson, who is also a producer on the film, says she’s proud of Love. And it is another worthy entry into the list of ambitious romantic comedies that explore whether it’s not enough to sustain a relationship.

NEWS: Dakota will be honored at the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival

 

From THR: A film from Iran that has been kept secret so far to ensure the safety of its delegation, along with Dakota Johnson, Stellan Skarsgard, Peter Sarsgaard and Vicky Krieps, has joined the lineup for the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF).

[ ... ]

Also on the first weekend of KVIFF 2025, namely on Sunday, July 6, Johnson will be honored with the KVIFF President’s Award and present her two latest films, Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville and Celine Song’s Materialists. “Dakota Johnson continues her family’s multigenerational acting tradition, as represented by her grandmother Tippy Hedren and both of her parents, award-winning Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson,” fest organizers said. It should thus not come as a surprise that her film debut was at age 10, when she appeared in Crazy in Alabama (1999, directed by Antonio Banderas).”

Dakota Johnson will receive the KVIFF President’s Award before the screening of the latest at 10.30pm in the Grand Hall of the Hotel Thermal.

PORTRAITS

 INTERVIEW

The new film “Materialists” is something of a bargain: essentially two films in one. It’s very much a sparkling romantic comedy in which a young woman finds herself torn between a wealthy man who can offer her a life of comfort and ease versus another much poorer man who nonetheless understands the deepest, truest parts of her inner self.

It is also filled with long, thoughtful conversations on the very nature of why love and relationships matter so much, the parts they play in people’s lives and effects on an individual’s sense of identity. The movie is both a thing and spends a lot of time considering the nature of that very thing, almost an essay about itself. And it does so with a stylish, romantic sophistication and ease.
