The Brutalist

Programme Type: Film|Length: 215 mins| Cert:

Escaping post-war Europe in 1947, visionary architect László Toth (Adrien 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 Pearce) recognises his talent for building. Van Buren enlists László to build a monumental new project – but creative power comes with a dark cost, as the architect sacrifices more and more of himself to complete his exacting vision.


"Brady Corbet’s epic can handle the hyperbole. With his long-time co-writer Mona Fastvold, the actor-turned-filmmaker has forged a monumental parable about the false promises of the American dream." Philip De Semlyen, Time Out


Contains scenes of sexual assault and drug use.


Please note: There is a timed 15-minute interval halfway through the film.
