With The Brutalist winning over 70 awards—most recently Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Male Actor at the Golden Globes—and being nominated for over two hundred, chances are that you've heard more about how great of a film it is than about the plot itself! 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) recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost. "This film is monumental. It’s thrilling and emotional, quiet and observant, loud and furious"—The Daily Beast.
