The Brutalist is an epic historical drama that chronicles the life of László Tóth (Adrien Brody), a Hungarian-Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor. In 1947, Tóth and his wife, Erzsébet (Felicity Jones), emigrate to the United States to rebuild their lives and legacy. They encounter a wealthy industrialist, Harrison Lee Van Buren Sr. (Guy Pearce), who commissions Tóth to design a monumental modernist structure. As Tóth navigates the challenges of post-war America, he grapples with the complexities of identity, ambition, and the pursuit of the American Dream. The film delves into themes of artistic integrity, personal trauma, and the impact of history on individual lives.
