Virtual discussion of The Brutalistist, a post-World War II drama. The movie follows László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect, who immigrates to America and struggles to rebuild both his life and his ideals through his art. Adrien Brody delivers a commanding performance as a man caught between creative vision and moral compromise. The film’s sweeping scope, austere visual style, and meditation on exile, identity, and the cost of ambition make it a richly layered work with deliberate pacing and architectural precision that invite reflection rather than spectacle. Critically acclaimed, The Brutalist earned Best Film honors from the New York, Chicago, and London Film Critics’ Circles, along with major nominations from BAFTA. Rotten Tomatoes 93%. Stream on HBO Max and for rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
