Regizorul Brady Corbet (Vox Lux) a ales distributia noii sale drame de epoca, intitulata The Brutalist: Joel Edgerton, Marion Cotillard, Mark Rylance, Sebastian Stan, Vanessa Kirby, Alessandro Nivola, Isaach De Bankolé, Raffey Cassidy si Stacy Martin.
Scris de Corbet si Mona Fastvold, filmul relateaza 30 de ani din viata si opere unui artist cu o viziune monolitica de durata. Dupa razboi, arhitectul vizionar László Toth (Edgerton) si sotia lui, Erzsébet (Cotillard) parasesc Europa pentru a fi martorii nasterii unei Americi moderne; acolo, vietile lor sunt complet schimbate de aparitia unui client bogat si misterios (Rylance). Povestea lor de dragoste deloc conventionala va duce cuplul pe culmi marete, dar le va aduce si pierderi devastatoare.
The Brutalist va fi produs de Andrew Lauren si D.J. Gugenheim de la Andrew Lauren Productions, Brian Young (Three Six Zero), alaturi de Trevor Matthews si Nick Gordon de la Brookstreet Pictures, care finanteaza proiectul. Christine Vachon, Pamela Koffler si David Hinojosa de la Killer Films sunt producatori executivi.
“Amidst a revamped cycle of populism and prejudice in the 21st Century, The Brutalist is a film which celebrates the triumphs of the most daring and accomplished visionaries; our ancestors. It is the project which is so far the closest to my heart and family history. I so look forward to reuniting with many of our closest collaborators, as well as some exciting new ones, to realize what we all anticipate to be a vital and urgent motion picture,” a declarat Brady Corbet.
“Brady’s third feature, The Brutalist, is a continuation of his unique interpretation of major historical moments of the past century. This story resonates for me as the grandson of an immigrant artist, and is unquestionably relevant to the political discourse we are having in America today,” a adaugat Andrew Lauren.
