'The Brutalist' Review: Adrien Brody Redesigns the American Dream in Brady Corbet's Brilliant but Frustrating 215-Minute Epic
Briefly

Brady Corbet's "The Brutalist" connects its aesthetic to Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth, reflecting trauma's impact on personal and collective narratives over 30 years.
Corbet's film, extending over 215 minutes, mirrors the weight of the concrete structures Tóth creates, emphasizing minimalism and a deep aversion to nostalgia.
In exploring trauma and culture, Corbet highlights how personal experiences intertwine with collective history, demonstrating the inseparable relationship between individual lives and public identities.
"The Brutalist" serves as a profound commentary on how the world's shaping is influenced by personal narratives, drawing parallels between personal and artistic expression.
