Why did Coppola, the great retro classicist of the New Hollywood, ever convince himself that he was an avant-garde visionary? \u201cMegalopolis\u201d is a movie that crashes into glittering fragments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But with \u201cThe Brutalist,\u201d Brady Corbet goes in the opposite direction. His first two films, the fascist parable \u201cThe Childhood of a Leader\u201d (2015) and the pop-star parable \u201cVox Lux\u201d (2018), had flashes of brilliance amid a sea of indulgence. But \u201cThe Brutalist\u201d comes close to <em>being<\/em> a work of retro classicism. It\u2019s three hours and 15 minutes long, it\u2019s paced with a pleasing stateliness and overflows with incident and emotion \u2014 and it spins out the story of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 T\u00f3th (Adrien Brody), a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who journeys from Budapest to America after World War II, as if Corbet were making a biopic about a real person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    If the protagonist\u2019s name sounds familiar, that\u2019s because Laszlo Toth was the Hungarian-born Australian geologist who took a hammer to Michelangelo\u2019s Piet\u00e0 in 1972. That Corbet would name his hero after this nutcase sounds like an inside joke, but to the extent that the reference has resonance, it\u2019s meant more seriously. It\u2019s the film\u2019s way of suggesting that a powerful creator is always, in certain ways, a destroyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    I may be alone in not having been crazy about Adrien Brody\u2019s Oscar-winning performance in \u201cThe Pianist.\u201d To me, he gawked through that role, and the movie itself mostly sat there. But in \u201cThe Brutalist,\u201d Brody plays another wayward Holocaust survivor \u2014 L\u00e1szl\u00f3 arrives on a boat, passing through Ellis Island \u2014 and his performance, even at its quietest, is suffused with tumultuous feeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Speaking in a thick accent, Brody, at first, makes L\u00e1szl\u00f3 dour and tentative and seemingly rather harmless: a desperate refugee just keeping his head down and trying to carry on. From the start, though, there\u2019s nothing quaint about the filmmaking. Corbet gives us a riveting side-angle shot of the Statue of Liberty as L\u00e1szl\u00f3 emerges from the ship\u2019s dank and teeming interior. This is followed by a sex scene that\u2019s jarring (not because L\u00e1szl\u00f3 hires a prostitute, but because Corbet films their encounter with a touch of hardcore explicitness). \u201cYour face is ugly,\u201d she says. \u201cI know it is,\u201d says L\u00e1szl\u00f3. Their encounter hints at the life force that\u2019s buried in him, and so does something else, in a perverse way. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 suffered a broken nose, and during the passage to America took heroin to quell the pain. He still shoots it up and, as it turns out, he\u2019ll be a secret (functional) junkie for the rest of the movie. This speaks to something in him that\u2019s both self-centered and self-destructive. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    He has come to Pennsylvania to find his footing by staying with his cousin, Attila (Alessandro Nivola), a snake-oil smoothie who has his own custom furniture shop. He puts L\u00e1szl\u00f3 up in a spare room in the back of the store, and for a while L\u00e1szl\u00f3 forms a homespun unit with Attila and his WASPy wife, Audrey (Emma Laird), who turns out to be the film\u2019s first signifier of treachery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Before long, they get a furniture commission: Harry Lee (Joe Alwyn), the rich-kid son of a local tycoon, wants to take the dowdy old reading room used by his father and renovate it into a state-of-the-art library. (It will be a surprise gift.) L\u00e1szl\u00f3 is just the man to do it. At this point, we\u2019re still vague on his background (filling in details gradually is a Corbet touch), but the library L\u00e1szl\u00f3 designs, with shelves hidden by diagonally unfolding slats, a gleaming skylight, and a lounging chair in the middle that looks modern enough to have been designed by Mies van der Rohe, adds up to a stunning vision of architectural beauty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    When Harry\u2019s father, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), arrives at the estate and sees what\u2019s been done to his beloved reading room, he erupts in fury. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and Attila are thrown out of the house and don\u2019t even get their full payment. But it turns out that Van Buren just likes to control everything (and was in a state because his mother was dying). The new library is a landmark of design (it gets a spread in Look magazine), and Van Buren soon requests a meeting with L\u00e1szl\u00f3. He wants to pay him, and more than that he wants to partner with him. To build a building. To design the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Pearce is often a riveting character actor, but it\u2019s been a long time since he popped in a role the way he does here. In thick wavy hair and a mustache, speaking with a booming stentorian bluster that\u2019s plummy and irresistible, he\u2019s like Clark Gable playing Charles Foster Kane. The relationship between L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and Van Buren is many contrasting things at once: artist\/patron, immigrant Jew\/American blue blood, vassal\/exploiter, and, ultimately, something much darker. \u201cI find you intellectually stimulating,\u201d says Van Buren, fixing his fascinated gaze on L\u00e1szl\u00f3. Rarely has a compliment carried such unsettling overtones. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For all of \u201cThe Brutalist\u2019s\u201d meaty sprawl, Corbet lets us know, in ways big and small, that he\u2019s making a bold-statement art film. The opening credits are the most flamboyantly austere since \u201cT\u00e1r.\u201d The film is divided into chapters with titles like \u201cThe Enigma of Arrival,\u201d and there\u2019s an intermission, programmed for 15 minutes, accompanied by a modernist solo piano performance. For the first half, though, it\u2019s mostly a tale of success, as we learn that L\u00e1szl\u00f3 was a noted figure in Hungary \u2014 a brutalist designer out of the Bauhaus school. His blocky concrete buildings were audaciously new and built to last, and that\u2019s just what Van Buren wants him to build here: a combination auditorium, gymnasium, library and chapel, made of concrete and Italian marble, that will be a luxe monument in the Bucks County borough of Doylestown. It will cost $850,000 (a sum beyond a king\u2019s ransom in the \u201950s).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <br \/>The film\u2019s second half opens with the arrival of L\u00e1szl\u00f3\u2019s wife, Erzs\u00e9bet (Felicity Jones), who is in a wheelchair, the result of osteoporosis caused by the famine she suffered in a concentration camp. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 has been pining for her, but Jones plays her with a forceful blast of Old World ego that hits the film like a slap of reality. The marriage is no oasis, and from this point on life for L\u00e1szl\u00f3 will be complicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The drama of the building\u2019s construction feels inspired, in equal measure, by \u201cThe Fountainhead\u201d and \u201cThere Will Be Blood.\u201d It\u2019s not just a building. It\u2019s an American crusade, fraught with beauty and peril. The funds keep running out; L\u00e1szl\u00f3\u2019s willingness to sacrifice his own salary is the first sign that he\u2019s getting in too deep. His niece, Zsofia (Raffey Cassidy), has come over with Erzs\u00e9bet, and when Van Buren\u2019s son Harry takes a forceful shine to her, that\u2019s a sign of trouble. As for the relationship between L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and Van Buren, it becomes an increasingly confrontational symbiosis, culminating in their visually spectacular visit to the marble mines of Italy, where Van Buren commits a crime that\u2019s both horrific and intensely metaphorical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Maybe a bit <em>too<\/em> metaphorical. What is \u201cThe Brutalist\u201d ultimately about? It\u2019s an <em>echt<\/em>-American tale of immigration and ambition, and of what it means to be an artist. But it\u2019s also a tale of what it means to be Jewish in a world that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaches Jews with supreme ambivalence. This aspect of the film feels overstated, if only because the era it\u2019s set in was such a powerful age of assimilation. It\u2019s clear that Corbet made this movie because he wants it to mean something big. Whether it does may be in the eye of the beholder. Mostly, \u201cThe Brutalist\u201d lets you feel that you\u2019re seeing a man\u2019s life pass before your eyes. That may be meaning enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
