The Brutalist

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth (played by a Golden Globe-winning 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.

Runtime is 3hrs 35mins, including a 15-minute interval.
