The Brutalist
Welcome to America.
Directed by Brady Corbet
Produced by Brookstreet Pictures, Kaplan Morrison
A sprawling, intellectually demanding portrait of a Holocaust survivor architect's struggle to realize his vision in post-war America, haunted by trauma and corrupted by capitalist exploitation.
When an innovative modern architect flees post-war Europe, he is given the opportunity to rebuild his legacy. Set during the dawn of the modern United States (in Pennsylvania), his wife joins him, and their lives are forever changed by a demanding, wealthy patron.
