"Brutalist," directed by Brady Corbet and awarded Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, explores the story of Laszlo Toth, a Hungarian architect who flees fascism and arrives in America seeking new opportunities. Despite his genius, Toth's creativity is stifled by capitalism's constraints. The film delves into the philosophical essence of brutalism, an architectural style characterized by unadorned concrete and functional design, mirroring Toth's own struggles. It critically examines the impact of capitalist society on art, posing larger questions of artistic integrity in modern times.
