The Brutalist

Escaping postwar Europe, a visionary architect comes to America to rebuild his life. He settles in Pennsylvania, where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognises his talent.

Director: Brady Corbet

216 mins / 2024 / USA, UK, Canada

Suffused with Adrien Brody’s soulful performance, writer-director Brady Corbet’s epic Oscar-winning film is a towering tribute to the immigrant experience and a love letter to the power of architecture.

When visionary architect László Toth and his wife Erzsébet flee Europe to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America, their lives are changed forever by a mysterious and wealthy client.

The seemingly charming industrialist Harrison Van Buren offers László and his family the American Dream on a silver platter by commissioning him to design a grand modernist monument and help shape the landscape of the country he now calls home. It will be the most ambitious project of his career, one that will take László and Erzsébet to both monumental heights and devastating lows.
