If you loved The Childhood of a Leader, try The Brutalist

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Brady Corbet, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Childhood of a Leader, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Brutalist is

Pennsylvania, post-war, a draftsman's table scattered with blueprints. A modern architect and his wife rebuild their lives under the patronage of a wealthy client, their sleek designs at odds with the rural landscape. Corbet situates his drama at the intersection of art and commerce.
