Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Direction at the Venice International Film Festival and hailed as one of the American Film Institute’s Top Ten Films of 2024, The Brutalist is a sweeping historical drama from visionary director Brady Corbet (Vox Lux). Featuring a career-defining performance by Academy Award winner Adrien Brody, the film earned seven Golden Globe nominations, including Best Motion Picture – Drama and acting nods for Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce.

Set in post-World War II America, The Brutalist chronicles the poignant journey of László Tóth (Brody), a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survives the Holocaust and immigrates to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream. Despite facing relentless challenges, László’s fortunes take a dramatic turn when a wealthy client offers him an opportunity that could redefine his life and career.

With breathtaking cinematography, sumptuous design, and a soul-stirring score, The Brutalist is a visually stunning exploration of resilience, ambition, and the immigrant experience. Critics have called it “an electrifying piece of work” (The Guardian) and “gorgeous, conceptually stunning” (NPR).
