“The Brutalist,” a three-hour post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor architect rebuilding a life in America, is a fantasy.
Adrien Brody poses for photographers at the photo call for the film 'The Brutalist' during the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024. – “The Brutalist,” a post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor attempting to rebuild a life in America, is a fantasy. But filmmaker Brady Corbet wishes it weren’t.
Brody said it was a character and a story he felt an “immediate kinship and understanding for.” His mother, photographer Sylvia Plachy, was a Hungarian immigrant who fled in 1956 during the anti-Soviet revolution to restart and attempt to build a life as an artist. Running 215-minutes and presented in 70mm , “The Brutalist” arrived in Venice with expectations high. There were whispers of “a masterpiece” before it had screened; Reviews won’t go up until after the red-carpet premiere, however.
Wearing sunglasses, Corbet was feeling emotional speaking about the film, which he’d worked on for seven years.
