The Brutalist
“The Brutalist” (2024), directed by Brady Corbet, is an epic historical drama that chronicles the journey of László Tóth, a Hungarian Jewish architect portrayed by Adrien Brody. After surviving the Holocaust, László emigrates to post-war America with aspirations to rebuild his career and life alongside his wife, Erzsébet (Felicity Jones). Their fortunes take a pivotal turn when a wealthy industrialist, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), commissions László to design an ambitious modernist monument. This opportunity propels László into the upper echelons of American society, but also exposes him to profound personal and professional challenges. Spanning over three and a half hours, the film delves into themes of ambition, identity, and the complexities of the American Dream, offering a visually striking and emotionally resonant narrative.
