A24 has just released a stunning new trailer for The Brutalist, an upcoming film directed by Brady Corbet that promises to delve into the complexities of art, architecture, and the human psyche. The film stars Adrien Brody as László Toth, a visionary architect struggling to rebuild his life in post-war America. Joining him on screen are a talented ensemble cast, including Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin, Emma Laird, Isaach De Bankolé, and Alessandro Nivola.
Set against the backdrop of a fractured Europe after the war, the film follows László as he escapes to the United States to find not just a new home but a new beginning. Separated from his wife, Erzsébet (played by Jones), due to the shifting borders and political turmoil of wartime Europe, László must navigate the alienation of a foreign land while attempting to rebuild both his marriage and his career. The trailer hints at a compelling story of ambition and loss, as László’s journey leads him to Pennsylvania, where the wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (portrayed by Pearce) recognizes his architectural genius.
The narrative explores themes of legacy, power, and the personal cost of success. As László begins to carve out his future in the brutalist architectural style he is known for, the trailer suggests that achieving greatness comes with a heavy emotional and moral toll. The stakes are high, not just for his career but for his fractured relationships and his sense of self.
Written by Corbet and Mona Fastvold, The Brutalist is set to be a visually striking and emotionally rich drama. A24, known for its commitment to bold, thought-provoking films, has teased a masterpiece in the making. The Brutalist is slated for release on December 20, 2024, and promises to captivate audiences with its exploration of the personal costs of ambition and the legacies we leave behind.
