Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost…

Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, The Brutalist has also been nominated for 7 Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture (Drama).

Shot in VistaVision widescreen format, the feature is divided into two chapters with an intermission in between, providing a wholly unique and immersive viewing experience.
