The Brutalist, which is directed by Brady Corbet, is a post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor attempting to rebuild a life in America.
Inspired by the Jean-Louis Cohen’s book Architecture in Uniform, the film stars Adrien Brody as a Hungarian architect with Felicity playing his wife.
Spanning decades, The Brutalist tells the story of László Tóth and his attempts to pursue his art after the war in America.
Adrien plays Tóth. He lives in near-poverty until a wealthy industrialist, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), gives him an important contract. Joe and Alessandro Nivola also star.

The actor said it was a character and a story he felt an ‘immediate kinship and understanding for.’
His mother, photographer Sylvia Plachy, was a Hungarian immigrant who fled in 1956 during the anti-Soviet revolution to restart and attempt to build a life as an artist.
Adrien said: ‘Even though it’s fiction, it feels very real and very real to me. That’s so important for me to embody a character and make it real.’
Director Brady Corbet said: ‘The film is about the physical manifestation of the trauma of the 20th century. It’s dedicated to the artists that didn’t get to realise their vision.’

Brady Corbet directed the film and wrote the script with his wife Mona Fastvold, who is also a filmmaker (pictured: Adrien and Felicity Jones in the film)
Speaking at Venice Film Festival last month, he added: ‘This film does everything that we are told we are not allowed to do.
‘I’ve read great novellas, I’ve read great multi-volume masterpieces,’ Corbet said.
‘Maybe the next thing I make will be about 45 minutes, and I should be allowed to do that. … As Harmony Korine once said, cinema is stuck in the birth canal. And I agree with him.’
