László Tóth, an architect from Hungary who survived the Holocaust, arrives in America in search of a better life. Initially struggling with poverty, he eventually gets a chance at a major project. László hopes to realize his dream and help his family move to America. However, as the construction progresses, more and more problems arise: financial difficulties, distrust from those around him, and conflicts with the client. László comes to realize that the price of success in a new country may be too high. 

Curator Daria Badior about the film:

An extravagant canvas about architecture, the figure of the creator and his relationship with the client, the dark sides of talent and ambition, the American dream, and the echoes of a great war. "Brutalist" by Bradley Corbet is shot on 70mm film and structured like an opera—with an overture, two acts (separated by an intermission), and an epilogue. Adrien Brody delivers the performance of his career as the fictional king of brutalist architecture, Bauhaus student, and Hungarian Jew László Tóth. He is opposed by Guy Pearce in the role of a unique Citizen Kane—a monstrous figure deeply embedded in American culture.
