The Brutalist, a film about the pursuit of the American Dream, is a top contender for the Oscars this year. Directed by Brady Corbet, the movie has received nominations in ten categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Actor in a Leading Role, and Actress in a Supporting Role. It has already won three Golden Globes and five awards at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, including the Silver Lion.
The story follows Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth (played by Adrien Brody), who immigrates to the United States after surviving the Holocaust. With the help of wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (portrayed by Guy Pearce), László embarks on a monumental building project that could secure a bright future for him and his wife, Erzsébet (played by Felicity Jones).
The Brutalist is an epic tale with a runtime of three hours and 35 minutes, including a 15-minute break. Despite some controversy surrounding the use of AI, Corbet’s film is hailed as one of the most visionary films of the year. The ambitious architect’s story is best experienced on the big screen.
