Celine Song on 'Materialists,' working as a matchmaker, and finding meaning in dead cockroaches

Celine Song’s films, “Past Lives” and “Materialists”, invite the viewer to just slow down. To take in silence, a gaze, the moments in between words. In her conversation with Rachel, Celine describes how she tries to slow down in her own life, how she’s making peace with laziness and how she thinks of enjoying a good meal as something close to prayer. WHAT IS “WILD CARD?” Part-interview, part-existential game show – this is Wild Card from NPR. Host Rachel Martin rips up the typical interview script and invites guests to play a game about life's biggest questions. Rachel takes actors, artists and thinkers on a choose-your-own-adventure conversation that lets them open up about their fears, their joys and how they've built meaning from experience – all with the help of a very special deck of cards.
