The article discusses the ambitious film The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet, highlighting its surprising use of the disco track 'One for You, One for Me' by La Bionda during the credits. Although not every artistic risk in the film pays off, its unpredictability and scope are praiseworthy. Co-writer Mona Fastvold notes the intention behind the song choice is to leave viewers with a jolt of energy. This discovery leads the author to explore La Bionda's influence on Italo disco, an eclectic genre that has shaped modern music.
One for You, One for Me, the ecstatic 1978 disco hit by the Italian duo La Bionda, brings an unexpected energy to the closing of The Brutalist.
Corbet and Fastvold take wild risks in The Brutalist, and while not all connect, the film's vision and unpredictability leave a lasting impression.
The inclusion of 'One for You, One for Me' is cheeky, leaving the audience energized and reinforcing the film's subversion of conventions, according to co-writer Fastvold.
La Bionda, pioneers of Italo disco, brought a playful sound that continues to resonate decades later, blending catchy tunes with an offbeat style.
