An epic drama unlike any we've seen in decades, "The Brutalist" from producer/writer/director Brady Corbet honors the past while simultaneously looking forward to the future with hope.
Telling the story of European immigrant and Holocaust survivor László Tóth, played by Adrian Brody, as he attempts to start life anew for himself and his family in America, this journey starts in 1947 and concludes in 1980.

With challenging themes, intensely psychedelic visuals, committed performances (particularly from Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth), plus an overall fearlessness in its storytelling... this is one wild ride.
Bring on the NC-17 cut!
