As the Venice Film Festival kicks off, Brady Corbet's “The Brutalist” is already generating buzz, poised to be the cinematic highlight of the year.

With soaring anticipation among critics and audiences alike, “The Brutalist” has been dubbed “masterful” and “monumental,” setting high expectations from the outset. Early reactions from press screenings describe Adrien Brody's performance as the pinnacle of his career and suggest his portrayal of the visionary architect László Tóth could secure him an Oscar nomination. Similarly, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones have impressed with their standout performances that highlight the film's emotional depth.

Clocking in at an impressive 3 hours and 35 minutes, including an overture and a 15-minute intermission, “The Brutalist” goes bold with its format, employing the luxurious 70mm for a visually stunning experience. Critics have drawn parallels to cinematic giants such as Paul Thomas Anderson's “There Will Be Blood” and Sergio Leone's “Once Upon a Time in America,” praising its classic yet innovative storytelling approach.

The narrative follows László and his wife Erzsébet, who escape post-war Europe in 1947 with dreams of rebuilding their lives and witnessing the dawn of modern America. Their journey takes a dramatic turn when they encounter a mysterious wealthy client, played by Guy Pearce. Corbet co-wrote the script with Mona Fastvold, intertwining personal histories with the broader strokes of architectural ambition, echoing themes of Ayn Rand's “The Fountainhead.”

As the embargo lifts and official reviews start pouring in, many are confident that “The Brutalist” will emerge as the favorite for the prestigious Golden Lion award. Its blend of artistry, vision, and emotional storytelling is sure to resonate with both festival-goers and cinephiles.

In a cinematic landscape filled with quick narratives, “The Brutalist” stands out for its commitment to storytelling, making it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the art of film. Will it live up to the hype? Early indications suggest it's a film that demands to be seen, making for an unforgettable experience at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
