"The Brutalist" is a nearly four-hour historical drama starring Adrien Brody as celebrated architect László Tóth. Here's what's real in the new movie.

To tell his story, Corbet dusted off VistaVision, a cinematic format developed 70 years ago that yields a richer, more luxurious image. It was a technique embraced by filmmakers like the late Stanley Kubrick, but it hasn’t been seen in North American theatres in over 60 years.

In depicting an architect who flees Nazi Germany, the Oscar-winning actor was mindful of his mother’s journey to America.

SPOILER ALERT* Adrien Brody (László Tóth) relives some The Brutalist moments following the release of the 2024 epic period drama. Watch as Adrien Brody reacts to the big moments from The Brutalist.#Ad
