Brady Corbet's The Brutalist is one of the most exciting features of the decade. This sweeping epic is helmed by Adrien Brody, who plays architect László Tóth - a Jewish immigrant trying to survive in Post-WW2 America.
Exceptional art direction, beautiful cinematography, a commanding soundtrack and wonderful performances from Brody, Pearce and Felicity Jones make The Brutalist a must-watch for any fan of the medium.
While I have a few qualms with the third act, as a whole - I thoroughly enjoyed The Brutalist - no doubt improved upon by the 35mm print screening and 15 minute intermission.
Movies are awesome!
