'The Brutalist': Brody's Holocaust shadow . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on January 25, 2025 at 10:25:20:
I guess he is officially our go-to guy for the pain and suffering of the Holocaust. His best work bursts forth when he works under the shadow of real, man-made horror.

Lazlo begins ascending when he meets an industrialist who seems to be an American Mussolini. Pearce plays Van Buren as overbearing, harsh, imperious, and violent. He and Lazlo vacillate between oil and water to matches and gasoline. To me, this was the most prominent part of the story that I found tiresome.

I found the fifteen minute intermission life-saving by allowing me oxygen.

The production was a confection but the length wasn't really necessary. People couldn't wait to scramble out of the Imax temple.

One thing, Brody's schnozzola is awesome on the Imax screen.
