The Brutalist - Top 10 Best Movies That Will Shake Up the Oscars in 2025 That You Should Watch.
The Brutalist is an epic, poetic art-drama film directed by Brady Corbet and co-written with Mona Fastvold. Set across several decades in the 20th century, the film follows László Toth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect who flees fascism in Europe to start a new life in the United States.
Together with his wife Erzsébet, László seeks new opportunities in the promised land. However, he soon realizes that the price of success in an alien society is to trade his artistic ideals, cultural identity, and painful memories. As László gradually becomes one of the most sought-after architects in America thanks to his Brutalism style (cold, emotionless concrete architecture), he also gradually loses his human values and his true self.
The Brutalist is not only a journey of building great structures with concrete, but also a painful journey of searching for personal identity, art and love in the heart of a cold post-war society. The film has a slow, poetic pace, shot with quiet, symmetrical and gloomy frames - recreating the spirit of the architectural style of the same name.
The work has the participation of a top-notch cast, in which Joel Edgerton plays the main role with depth, with Marion Cotillard, Sebastian Stan and Mark Rylance contributing to creating haunting, cold and extremely humane performances.
