This is what Coppola’s Megalopolis should have been. Also, the fact that this was done for only $10 million instead of $100 million is nothing short of miraculous given the scope of the film.
I already saw The Brutalist at TIFF and let me tell you. It delivers all that it promises. It's a grand, outstanding and memorable masterpiece. It feels like seeing a 70's classic. A little how it felt to watch There Will Be Blood the first time. Can't wait for everyone to see it (and to see it again).
Exactly and plus we finally have an intermission in theaters that we deserve better than Killers of the Flower Moon this is real cinema, I live in Arkansas and I’m still waiting for a wide release 🔥🏆
@@aztro4010 All great films, and probably wouldn’t have been in any of them if he were a huge A list actor. That’s why I’ve always loved him, he stars in great films instead of mainstream crap,
As an actor, Brady worked with amazing directors like Michael Haneke, Lars Von Trier, and Gregg Araki. Now, it is his time to shine in the directorial role. I love this for him.
There is something about the trailers for "The Brutalist" that makes them one of the best trailers I have ever seen in my life that last shot with the piano music gave me chills
Saw this at TIFF - Believe every hyped-up, insane festival take you’ve heard about this film. It’s all true. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that this film even exists. It feels outside of time - it presents exciting new ways for how movies can be made and how stories can be told, in a way I was beginning to worry I’d never experience in my lifetime. I can’t describe how gorgeous this film is in VistaVision, so I won’t even try. Brody and Pierce deliver lifetime achievement performances. The sound and score are breathtaking.
@f.g.5967 it's not a good Movie Actually it's the Greatest Film ever made in history of Cinema Closet we have ever gone to achieving a Perfection Movie Every line is a masterpiece
This film genuinely looks incredible - from the immaculate cinematography, the subtle yet powerful soundtrack, and the naturalistic performances of the cast, personally, as a filmmaker myself, I couldn’t be more excited!
They had many days where people came in to work without pay. THAT is the power of passion and belief in a film, but it is not practical for business or livelihoods.
My grandfather came to the US 1951 as a 19 year old holocaust survivor the amount of love he had for the USA and the Dream and ability to be hard working and have the guts to be what you want always inspired me in life.. loved his story of survival and his passions or painting and playing his violin. :) i miss him
Honestly grateful to see Felicity Jones in a great movie again. I think the last time she was this good in a movie with a great material was Rogue One and that was over 8 years ago. Nice to see her back in a solid project that fits her very well 🙌
This movie is absolute drivel. After 90 minutes, I'd had enough and walked out of the theater ... even though two hours remained. This is no GONE WITHE THE WIND. I cannot believe it won best picture at the Golden Globes. What a colossal waste of time.
I am a first generation American from a Polish family. My parents (separately) managed to flee from oppressive Communist Poland at the time in the 70s. My dad attended to Cooper Union and became an architect. And in the late 70s, early 80s he was hired and help build Trump Tower (he told me he was never really paid well by DT and he had his builders threaten over and over again to be deported back to Poland (which was during the Solidarity period) for being too slow or not doing a good job). My dad died in 2010 from cancer and he never knew that he helped build a skyscraper for a future president. This film feels too personal for me to watch - the immigrant/exiled life in America. Coming to America from traumatic experience in Central Europe, the unscrupulous business side of the US. And the history of the people who actually build this country. It hits a nerve but I will watch it.
@@cheekygnome I refute your first comment - I bet your life and family history is just as amazing and stranger than fiction as many others :) But yes, this movie really does look moving and sensational. I can't wait!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's now a three time Golden Globe winner: Best Motion Picture - Drama Best Actor - Drama (Adrien Brody) Best Director (Brady Corbet) There's no doubt about it now, it might win big at the Oscars.
This is why we watch movies in the theater. This is how you distinguish art vs mediocrity. Of course I say this just from watching the trailer alone but I already know that it's in many critics' list and this cast and the scale and the story and the score indicate a brilliant brilliant film. I'm so excited
@ I was debating if I truly wanted to see this on the big screen especially with the running time and intermission. I know turnout has been surprisingly great. I know there’ll be more time for this film especially when the Oscar nominations are revealed
His main competition right now is Denzel Washington in Gladiator 2. But personally, this was a supporting complex villain role worthy of actually being recognized and awarded.
Sometimes i feel that A24 films never disappoints with their productions, no matter the genre like uncut gems, good times, the lighthouse, everything everywhere all at once, Menashe, red rocket and many more.
It is great to see Brody in something that is being considered a years best and have Oscar buzz again. He has deserved an A-list career for it's entirety. He really needs more of these kinds of roles.
For those interested, believe this is based on the life of Louis Kahn, famous brutalist architect who immigrated from Estonia to Philly. He's arguably the most iconic brutalist architect.
@ Ah shit! Well I was talking more about the actual release. It premiered in 70mm in Venice too but I want to see it play in the classic theaters that still do 70mm regularly. There are a decent number of them all around the world.
I'm from NY and have never been to that theatre, but it's such an institution and it would be great to see it re-open. Do you know if it suffered any fire damage, or was that area not affected?
@ I believe the area where the theater is has not been affected to this point. It closed due to Covid and has never reopened. Truly sad because it was such an institution and important place for Hollywood and moviegoers.
What a fine piece of Art. Thank you A24, for bringing this story about the perils of allowing the traumas of life to lead one to living life in default mode. This is a message I really needed to hear, and I’m forever grateful. Also, let’s normalize having intermissions in all movies; that was truly an unexpected joy of the movie watching experience!

The power of film over digital cinematography. Night and day.

Nahhh to long anything over 2.5 hours is getting obscene and instead should be a 5 part Netflix series .
Looks great, but it’s about the man that inspired Boston City Hall. The Brutalist one.
Guy Pearce is relly an underated actor, i hope he will win the Oscar for this
I generally like that he’s underrated, but it’s great to see him in such a great film again, since the pandemic he’s basically been in nothing good.

The cinematography looks insane 🤩
A24 movies always have great cinematography

Looks like Terrance Malick
captivating story but the lighting is unnecessarily too dark , I feel like cinema hall is not the best place to watch it
Not an A24 film, they are only the distributor, not the producer
Can we talk about director Brady Corbet? What an astonishing career, from playing Brian in Mysterious Skin to directing this film.
As an actor, Brady worked with amazing directors like Michael Haneke, Lars Von Trier, and Gregg Araki. Now, it is his time to shine in the directorial role. I love this for him.
Brady was also in Catherine Hardwicke and Nikki Reed’s film “Thirteen” where he played the older brother of Evan Rachel Wood.
Wow I had no idea. Very cool.
pretty incredible reading some of these reviews and knowing that this is only his second feature
@@JimDeanedThird*

The Megalopolis that we deserve.

There is something about the trailers for "The Brutalist" that makes them one of the best trailers I have ever seen in my life

Adrien Brody deserves his star on the hollywood walk of fame
I'm sure he could purchase one anytime he wants to.
The fact that you can buy it makes it absolutely pointless in my view. It's not really an award.
"Guy Pearce deliver's the best performance of his career"
am intrigued.
Considering he has Memento in his catalogue that's a big statement.

0:45 The way Adrien Brody delivers that line gives me goosebumps
