The Brutalist is coming to India! The critically acclaimed film is all set to be released soon on February 28. Following its glorious sweep at the Golden Globe Awards, Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) is releasing the film in India this month.
Directed by Brady Corbet, the film has a stellar cast, featuring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin, Isaach De Bankolé, and Alessandro Nivola. The story follows László Toth (Adrien Brody), a visionary architect who flees post-war Europe and arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being separated by shifting borders and wartime regimes.
Settling in Pennsylvania, László’s talent catches the eye of Harrison Lee Van Buren, a wealthy and influential industrialist who offers him an opportunity to redefine the architectural landscape. However, power and legacy come at an unforgiving cost. At its core, The Brutalist showcases ambition, resilience, and the sacrifices required to forge a legacy.
The film recently won the Critics Choice Awards for Best Motion Picture—Drama, Best Director, and Best Actor in a Motion Picture—Drama. After premiering at the Venice International Film Festival, the film received widespread critical acclaim, with Brody’s performance being hailed as his “career best,” “electric,” “extraordinary,” and “exceptional.” Corbet was also honoured with the prestigious Silver Lion for Best Director at the film festival.
Golden Globe Award winner for Best Director, Brady Corbet shares, “It’s a time period that has always fascinated me, primarily in the way that post-war psychology had this extraordinary imprint and influence on post-war architecture.”
He adds, “Something all three of my movies have in common is that they are very much about the cyclical nature of history. The Brutalist is a historical film, and the characters are written according to their circumstance. The film has much to say about the immigrant experience in America and how the American Dream fails László and Erzsébet Tóth.”
Get ready for a cinematic experience like no other as The Brutalist is set to premiere on February 28, 2025.
