Screen by the Green: The Brutalist (18)

Director: Brady Corbet
With Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones
Runtime: 214 mins

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet 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 recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost…

“It’s a colossal, weighty treatise on the immigrant experience, the challenges of creativity, and the myth of the American Dream. Corbet packs heft and soul into every frame. The freedom afforded by that runtime allows the movie to unfold at a methodical, elegant pace. There’s an old-fashioned unhurriedness to the storytelling, which enables its internal emotional plumbing to conceal as many secrets as Tóth’s architecture does.” Voice Magazine

“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 – and yet also with something darkly mysterious and uncanny to be divined in its handsome shape.” The Guardian
