Director Brady Corbet (Vox Lux) returns with another bold vision — an American epic, starring Adrien Brody as a Jewish Hungarian architect who tries to reconstruct his life, his love, and his home.

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth (Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pierce) recognises his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost...

Beautifully constructed – like one of Tóth’s own vertiginous creations – The Brutalist soars; from Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce’s magnetic performances to Lol Crawley’s stunning VistaVision cinematography and Daniel Blumberg’s mesmerising score.

Please note: There is a 15-minute intermission in this film
