“The Brutalist is a film that must be seen in theaters – a visually stunning and emotionally powerful epic exploring the immigrant experience in post-war America. Adrien Brody delivers a commanding performance as Holocaust survivor László Tóth. The film also features outstanding performances by Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones. All three of whom are Oscar nominees. The VistaVision film, which was last used 60 years ago, and the majestic soundtrack create an enchanting atmosphere. If you thought films like Once Upon a Time in America, The Godfather, and Fitzcarraldo were a thing of the past – fear not, because now we have The Brutalist. The film runs for 3 hours and 30 minutes, but the only thing that feels too long is the intermission in the middle.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
