The Brutalist

It is quite jarring at first just how different it is from everything else released in theaters during this day and age. “The Brutalist” is very often the complete anthesis of modern cinema, in the best way possible.

You not only feel enveloped in the world that Corbet builds of post-war America, but you feel like you are watching the movie in that era.

A bold movie with bold ideas. An examination of the American Dream. An examination of the intersection between art and business. An examination about the enduring nature of art. An examination of the cause and effect of violence/trauma.

It is such a rich text.

A staggering achievement that shouldn’t be missed.
