OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
“When visionary architect László Toth and his wife Erzsébet flee postwar Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and see the birth of modern America, their lives are changed by a mysterious, wealthy client.”
The Brutalist will be screened in 70mm prints in select theaters in the United States, where it will be distributed by A24. In Mexico and the rest of the Latin American market it will be distributed by Universal Pictures.
Corbet has spoken extensively about the financial difficulties he faced making the film (via Deadline):
“We are not reinventing the wheel. The reality is that we would have been happier and more comfortable if we had more money.”
“At times it took a great personal and physical toll due to the number of sleepless nights over the past seven years. “You have to have blind faith to get this thing, which is completely malnourished, to reach the goal.”
Filming took place partly in Hungary. The budget was less than $10 million dollars.
Corbet won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival for his work on The Brutalist. The feature film has a duration of 215 minutes.
A24 premieres The Brutalist December 20, 2024 in theaters.
