Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth (played by an Oscar-nominated Adrien Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work and his marriage after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. An electrifying study of 20th century immigration, of the experience of Jewishness and of post-war assimilation in America, it’s a story vast in scope – brilliantly performed, evocatively shot on 70mm film and richly drawn in a way that fully earns its expansive runtime.
Nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (Brady Corbet), Best Actor (Adrien Brody), and Best Original Screenplay.
"A mighty, discordant anthem to the birth of modern America... [and] a monumental parable about the false promises of the American dream"
