Brady Corbet’s towering, American epic starring Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, and Joe Alwyn explores the humanity and artistry behind brutalist architecture.

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary Hungarian architect László Toth (Adrien Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes.

On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) recognises his talent for building and enlists him for a monumental, dream project.

László, sacrificing more and more of himself to complete his exacting vision eventually realises that his dream has come at a dark cost. Director Corbet spent seven years making this ambitious project which received multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival.

Reviews

★★★★★ This is a film with thrilling directness and storytelling force, a movie that fills its widescreen and three-and-a half-hour running time with absolute certainty and ease, as well as glorious amplitude, clarity and even simplicity.
The Guardian
It's hard not to think of it as a new American masterpiece.
Mashable
The Brutalist is a colossal achievement, balancing intimacy and scale at every level of craft.
Screen Rant
Brody has seldom been better, bringing tremendous gravitas... It's a towering performance.
