The expectations for The Brutalist are high. Actor-turned-director Brady Corbet already took home the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival in September. And now he enters Hollywood’s big award season with seven Golden Globe nominations, including Director of a Motion Picture, Screenplay of a Motion Picture, and Drama Motion Picture.
The Brutalist is a historical epic that follows László Tóth (Adrien Brody), a renowned Bauhaus architect, who makes his way from Budapest to Pennsylvania after the Holocaust. There he meets the Van Burens, a wealthy family with vast resources — the kind that could revive the career of a talented architect. Though a series of events would derail the initial work, László is resilient and with time, is invited to design a massive, ambitious community center.
