The Brutalist

This three Oscar megalith stars Adrien Brody (winner of Best Actor) in the role of a lifetime as a Holocaust survivor who immigrates to USA where he struggles to realise the American Dream until a patron gives him the chance to prove his designer skills. The Brutalism of the title isn’t just about the architectural style but also hints at the brutality that was mixed into the very foundations of the USA itself. The 3.5h runtime flies by in the direct and thrilling force of the story-telling from the steady hand of Director Brady Corbet. So strap in and enjoy the ride. There is an interval halfway through.
