Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist' examines the foundations of postwar America and dives deep into themes of architecture, antisemitism, and the complexities of the immigrant experience.
The film serves as a biopic of an imaginary Hungarian architect, Laszlo Toth, illustrating his rise in America alongside the darker sides of ambition and societal prejudices.
Toth's character embodies the tension between a promising future and painful history, ultimately confronting the naivety of American culture against the backdrop of European expertise.
Corbet manages to blend powerful storytelling with an exploration of dark themes, resulting in a film that's not only visually captivating but rich in substance.
