THE BRUTALIST

USA, UK, Hungary | 2024 | DCP | 215 min.
Director: Brady Corbet
Cast: Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce
A maximalist tour-de-force, this great American epic unfolds in post-WWII Pennsylvania. Adrien Brody gives one of his career best performances as László Tóth, a Hungarian immigrant and visionary architect who undertakes a massive commission at the behest of a wealthy industrialist. Shot in VistaVision with style and ambition to spare, The Brutalist achieves a monumental grandeur seldom seen in contemporary cinema. Note: Running time includes ten-minute intermission. (MK)
