The Brutalist“, Adrien Brody‘s new movie, is a title directed by Brady Corbet (Mysterious Skin, Thirteen and Melancholia) that promises to captivate audiences with an intense exploration of the life of a Jewish refugee architect.

The story follows László Toth, an architectural visionary who arrives in the United States in the 1940s to start a new life. His professional and personal journeys unfold in a postwar context full of struggles.

With Corbet’s characteristic dark and contemplative style, the drama stands out as a visually striking film that blends art, history, and a deep analysis of the human cost of ambition and creation.
