Just Announced
The epic Cannes and Golden Globe-winning story of art, immigration, architecture, and filmmaking that reveals how the world we design is inextricable from our personal experience.
Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner 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) recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost. [215 min. with a 15-min. intermission; drama; English, Hungarian, Italian, Hebrew, and Yiddish with English subtitles]
"The Brutalist is a work that incorporates well-known world history into two of the definitive forms of expression of the 20th century in architecture and filmmaking, becoming a commentary on both capitalism and art." — Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"Many movies offer up a slice of reality; true to the architectural aesthetic that its title invokes, this one offers a slab." — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"Brady Corbet builds on celluloid what Adrien Brody’s László Toth does with concrete: an unvarnished monument to the authentic American character." — Marshall Shaffer, Slant Magazine
