"The Brutalist", Special 70 MM Film Screening
In Protected content America, László Toth (Adrien Brody) dares to make a new start in Pennsylvania. A country that welcomes him on the one hand, but threatens his artistic integrity on the other.
When the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) recognizes Toth's talent as a master builder, he commissions him with a mammoth project: to build an institute consisting of a library, a sports hall, an auditorium and a chapel in honour of his beloved deceased mother.
Van Buren gave László the opportunity to realize his boldest dreams through monumental brutalist architecture with its clear lines and angular forms. But as a seemingly glorious partnership unfolds, László begins to falter: the price of power and legacy is high, and the dark legacy of Van Buren's wealth casts a long shadow.
Visionary ideas, a radical new beginning and the question of the true price of success: THE BRUTALIST tells the epic story of the Jewish-Hungarian architect László Toth, who risks everything to rebuild his life in the USA after the horrors of the Second World War.
On a foundation of pain and loss, Toth finds artistic expression for his torn soul in the cold and powerful force of Brutalism. His architecture is as uncompromising as he is, driven by the irrepressible will to leave his mark on the world - even if his most important work could prove to be his greatest curse.
