As audiences increasingly embrace lengthy films like 'Oppenheimer' and 'Killers of the Flower Moon', there seems to be a cultural shift towards accepting more complex narratives and substantial runtime, contrary to trends of shorter attention spans.
With The Brutalist, a 215-minute film centered on a Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor, director Brady Corbet aims to challenge mainstream sensibilities by delivering an epic that prioritizes depth and intellectual engagement over entertainment.
Adrien Brody's character, László Tóth, embodies resilience as he navigates his traumatic past while pursuing a new life in America, revealing the emotional weight that accompanies survival and ambition.
Despite the heavy subject matter, the film's exploration of Tóth's journey underscores a blend of personal and historical narratives, showcasing how art can ultimately facilitate healing and understanding in post-war society.
