  Wow! Christopher Nolan really took this plot and said let’s make it grey. It’s crazy how that opening sequence can be compared shot to shot with inception. Really enjoyed this watch, but were the dolls all hailing hitler?? 😭

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Jan 2025

  No notes on pt 1. A few notes on pt 2. 

  A beautiful story on post ww2 immigration to the US, and more subtly, about being Jewish during the creation of the Israeli state. Very raw dialogue and beautifully shot. Blink and you’ll miss a scene vital to the plot 30 minutes later. Opening credits were so cool, such a fun way to flex the vista vision film. 

  Watched in 70 mm, AFI silver spring with jack
