The Brutalist, the new film starring Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, has unveiled its first full-length trailer.

The epic historical drama, which is expected to be a major contender throughout awards season, follows László Tóth (Brody), a Holocaust survivor and architect who relocates to the US in search of the American dream.

Residing in Philadelphia, László and his wife, Erzsébet (Jones), come into contact with the wealthy businessman Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), who offers him an exciting opportunity. Soon, however, László discovers that “power and legacy come at a heavy cost.”

The stacked cast for the project, which is directed by Brady Corbet (The Childhood of a Leader, Vox Lux), also includes Joe Alwyn, Stacy Martin, Raffey Cassidy, Emma Laird and Alessandro Nivola.

The epic, which runs for a whopping 215 minutes, received critical acclaim upon its premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival back in September, with its success continuing onto the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, where it received seven nominations including Best Picture – Drama.

Jones, who received an Academy Award nomination for her role in The Theory of Everything, recently spoke with Vanity Fair about her role in The Brutalist, praising Corbet and co-writer Mona Fastvold for bringing an “authenticity” to the project.

“First of all, you thought [the film] was based on real people, because it had such a feeling of authenticity about it, and it had all these wonderful technical aspects to it,” remarked Jones, who has also starred in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

“Even at the level of reading the script, it felt as though Brady and Mona had written something that was really pushing the conventions of cinema. It feels like audiences are really luxuriating and enjoying something that is so committed to being long-form. I mean, it feels so novel in its nostalgia for cinema in some ways.”

The Brutalist is in cinemas on December 20 in the US and January 24, 2025 in the UK.

Part 1: The Enigma of Arrival
Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth, forcibly separated from his wife, Erzsébet, and niece, Zsófia, in Budapest during World War II and having survived the Holocaust, manages to emigrate to America. He travels to Philadelphia, where his immigrant cousin Attila and his American wife, Audrey, allow him to stay with them while he looks for employment.

In 1947, László helps with his cousin’s furniture business, and he and Attila are commissioned to renovate the study and library of wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren by his son, Harry, as a surprise to his father while he is away on business. Harrison arrives home furious at the state of the renovations, and orders László and Attila to leave without pay for the labor and materials. Some while later, Attila regretfully asks László to leave his home after Audrey accuses him of making advances towards her.

Years later, László is living in charitable housing within a church, where he befriends Gordon, a poor African-American man struggling to raise his young son. Gordon discovers that László is covertly smoking heroin before dangerous work together at a shipyard. One day, Harrison locates László, and tells him his modern study/library has been lauded by the architectural community. He pays László the money owed from the library renovation, which László and Gordon then spend on heroin.

Invited to a party by Harrison, László is treated as a guest of honor, but is also conscious of jokes and whispers. With the revelation of László’s past in Europe as an accomplished architect, and wanting to build and leave a monumental legacy, Harrison commissions him to construct a community center in honor of his late mother featuring a library, theater, gymnasium, and a chapel. Work begins immediately with László living and working on site, employing Gordon, who, along with László, has become a fully functioning heroin addict. For László’s services, Harrison’s personal lawyer is able to expedite Erzsébet and Zsófia’s immigration to America.

Part 2: The Hard Core of Beauty
In 1953, László greets Erzsébet and Zsófia at the train station, where he discovers that due to the conditions and traumas suffered in the war and its aftermath, Zsófia has become mute and Erzsébet has developed osteoporosis and is now a full-time wheelchair user. During construction of the center, László learns of changes to the design and materials made without his approval, and butts heads with the other developers. Though László intends to pay out of his pocket for the materials necessary to his intended vision, Harry warns him to stay in his place, saying he is merely "tolerated," and makes unsavory sexual allusions to Zsófia, whom László warns to stay away from Harry, though he may have already assaulted her. Sometime later, the train carrying László’s materials derails and crashes, critically injuring two brakemen. With the expected legal fees and the increased cost it would take to transport the materials, Harrison abandons the construction and lays off all workers and László.

Years later, László has been employed by an architecture firm in New York City, where he and Erzsébet now live a metropolitan life. Zsófia, having overcome her muteness, is expecting a child with her new devoutly Jewish husband. She announces to her aunt and uncle that they are moving to Jerusalem in the then-newly established state of Israel, and unsuccessfully urges them to come with her. One day, Harrison contacts László to inform him that, by forgoing his community center’s library to cover legal expenses from the train crash, they can resume construction while staying on budget.

In order to acquire the stone to complete the building, László contacts an old Italian ally whose antifascist militia has taken control of a quarry in Carrara. The night before their return to America, Harrison and Lázsló get drunk at a party, and later in the quarry, Harrison rapes László as a show of dominance, and berates him for wasting his potential. After their return, an increasingly traumatized and anxious László begins to unravel, aggressively yelling at a worker playing on the scaffolding, firing his friend Gordon, creating a scene in front of his wife, and avoiding a meeting with a developer.

After Erzsébet runs out of pain medication for her osteoporosis, László begins injecting her with heroin, which she nearly overdoses on one night. Growing sick of America, she proposes they live in Jerusalem with Zsófia and her family; László accepts.

One night, Erzsébet pays Harrison a visit at his home, and calls him a rapist in front of his children and associates. Harry violently attacks her and drags her out of the house, while his sister, Maggie, tends to her. Harry returns to the dinner table, only to find the guests leaving, and Harrison disappeared without a trace.[a]

Epilogue
In 1980, Erzsébet has died, and an exhibition is held in Venice, paying tribute to László's work over the years (including the community center which finally completed construction over a decade after it was halted). A now adult Zsófia gives a speech highlighting how their experience with the Holocaust inspired László works. She ends by recounting what László once told her, "No matter what the others try and sell you, it is the destination, not the journey.”

Development

Writer and director Brady Corbet
In September 2018, Deadline reported that director Brady Corbet had chosen the period drama The Brutalist as his next project following the world premiere of his second feature film, Vox Lux.[8] New York-based Andrew Lauren Productions (ALP) developed the screenplay with Corbet and financed the film.[8] Corbet co-wrote the screenplay with his partner Mona Fastvold, with whom he co-wrote the 2015 film The Childhood of a Leader and the 2018 film Vox Lux.[9] The film was originally announced as a co-production between Andrew Lauren and D.J. Gugenheim for ALP, Trevor Matthews and Nick Gordon for Brookstreet Pictures,[10] Brian Young's Three Six Zero,[8] and the Polish company Madants,[11][12] and executive produced by Christine Vachon, Pamela Koffler, and David Hinojosa of Killer Films.[10]

On September 2, 2020, Deadline announced that Joel Edgerton and Marion Cotillard had been cast as the film's leads, László Tóth and Erzsébet Tóth, respectively, and that Mark Rylance was cast in the role of László's mysterious client.[10] Sebastian Stan, Vanessa Kirby, Isaach De Bankolé, Alessandro Nivola, Raffey Cassidy and Stacy Martin were also announced in unknown roles.[10] Corbet described The Brutalist as "a film which celebrates the triumphs of the most daring and accomplished visionaries; our ancestors", and the project which is so far the closest to his heart and family history.[10] Filming was scheduled to begin in Poland in January 2021.[13][10] Protagonist Pictures presented the project to buyers at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.[10] The film takes place in Pennsylvania and was shot in English, Yiddish, Hungarian and Italian.[9][10]

Director of photography Lol Crawley, editor Dávid Jancsó, and costume designer Kate Forbes were announced on March 9, 2023.[14][15] Production designer Judy Becker was announced on April 11, 2023.[2] Daniel Blumberg composed the film's score.[16]

On April 11, 2023, it was announced that Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Jonathan Hyde, Emma Laird, and Peter Polycarpou would star in the film, while Edgerton, Cotillard, Rylance, Stan, and Kirby were no longer attached.[2] It was also announced that the film would be co-produced by the US-based companies Andrew Lauren Productions and Yellow Bear along with the United Kingdom's Brookstreet and Intake Films, and Hungary's Proton Cinema,[2] and financed by Brookstreet UK, Yellow Bear, Lip Sync Productions, Richmond Pictures, Meyohas Studio, Carte Blanche, Cofiloisirs, and Parable Media.[2] CAA Media Finance handles US sales with Protagonist Pictures handling international sales.[2] Focus Features subsequently acquired international distribution rights to the film.[17]

Filming
Filming was originally set to start in 2020,[18] but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[18] It was then scheduled to start in January 2021,[13] but it was postponed to August 2021,[19] then it was postponed again to the second quarter of 2022.[18] Corbet said filming was postponed several times due to the pandemic as well as several pregnancies and deaths in the families of the film's cast and crew.[20]

After several delays, filming finally began in Budapest,[21][2] Hungary, on March 16, 2023.[22] Production then moved to the city of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy, on April 29, 2023,[23][24] and was completed on May 5, 2023.[25]

The film was shot using the VistaVision process and cameras, which involves shooting horizontally on 35mm film stock, which was then scanned, with the intention of also making prints for a 70mm film release.[26] VistaVision was selected for its ability to offer a wide field of view without the use of wide angle lenses while still maintaining a shallow depth of field, making it ideal for architectural photography.[27] Corbet explained the choice of VistaVision was also aesthetic: "It just seemed like the best way to access that period (1950s) was to shoot on something that was engineered in that same decade." In addition, the film is presented in two acts with a 15-minute intermission.[28]

(2024)

The film's score was composed by Daniel Blumberg, who had previously worked with Corbet on the short film Gyuto (2019), with the two working together on the film over a span of seven years.[29][30] The album containing the score was released on December 13, 2024, through Milan Records.[30] Blumberg and Brady wanted continuous music for the film's first ten minutes, resulting in the opening sequence of The Brutalist being choreographed and shot to Blumberg's demos.[29] The overture features pianists John Tilbury, Sophie Agnel [fr], and Simon Sieger, trumpeter Axel Dörner, and saxophonist Evan Parker, all of whom appear throughout the soundtrack.[29] Synth-pop musician Vince Clarke plays the synthesizer on "Epilogue (Venice)".[30]

The experimental "Construction" was the first track Blumberg wrote for the score; an early demo was composed on a prepared piano at London's Cafe Oto to create a sound similar to construction noises.[30] "Erzsébet", one of the score's themes, was played by Blumberg live on a piano since Brady wanted the actors to hear the music while shooting; the train noises from the scene were eventually incorporated into the track's final version.[30]

All music is composed by Daniel Blumberg.

Release
The Brutalist had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2024, where it competed for the Golden Lion and won the Silver Lion for Corbet.[31] It also played at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024.[32] The film's festival run also included selections for screenings at the 2024 New York Film Festival the 69th Valladolid International Film Festival, and the 31st Austin Film Festival.[33][34][35] A week after its premiere at Venice, A24 acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film for "just under $10 million" in what was described as a competitive situation.[36] It is scheduled to be released in the U.S. by A24 on December 20, 2024,[37] and later in the United Kingdom by Universal Pictures and Focus Features on January 24, 2025.[38]

Reception
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 88 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "Structurally beautiful and suffused with Adrien Brody's soulful performance, writer-director Brady Corbet's immaculately designed The Brutalist is a towering tribute to the immigrant experience."[39] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 88 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[40]

The film received a five-star review from The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw, who called it "an amazing and engrossing epic". He continued: "The Brutalist obviously takes something from Ayn Rand, but also from Bernard Malamud and Saul Bellow in its depiction of the US immigrant adventure and the promise of success – but maybe Corbet and Fastvold go further and faster into how dizzyingly sensual and sexual it all is". Bradshaw concluded: "It is an electrifying piece of work, stunningly shot by cinematographer Lol Crawley and superbly designed by Judy Becker. I emerged from this movie light-headed and euphoric, dizzy with rubbernecking at its monumental vastness."[41] In a review for Vogue, the cinematography, score, costumes, and production design were described as "sumptuous", "impressively stylish", and possessing a "staggering ambition".[42]

NPR included the film in their list of the best movies and TV of 2024, with critic Bob Mondello writing that The Brutalist is "Gorgeous, conceptually stunning, and dizzying in its savagery about cracks in the foundation of the American dream."[43]

RogerEbert.com writers named The Brutalist in the top slot of the Roger Ebert's Ten Best Films of 2024, which is determined by Borda count of the site's writers.[44]

Felicity Rose Hadley Jones (born 17 October 1983) is an English actress. She began her professional acting career as a child, appearing in The Treasure Seekers (1996) at age 12. She went on to play Ethel Hallow for one series of the television series The Worst Witch (1998). In 2008, she appeared in the Donmar Warehouse production of The Chalk Garden.

Since 2006, Jones has appeared in the films Northanger Abbey (2007), Brideshead Revisited (2008), Chéri (2009), The Tempest (2010), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), and True Story (2015). She received praise for her performances in the romantic drama Like Crazy (2011) and the biopic The Theory of Everything (2014). Her portrayal of Jane Hawking in the latter earned her nominations for the BAFTA and Academy Award for Best Actress.

In 2016, Jones starred in the thriller Inferno, the fantasy drama A Monster Calls, and the space opera Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as Jyn Erso.[1] She has since portrayed Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the biopic On the Basis of Sex (2018), and has starred in the streaming films The Aeronauts (2019), The Midnight Sky (2020) and The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021), as well as the period drama The Brutalist (2024).

Early life and education
Felicity Rose Hadley Jones was born in Birmingham on 17 October 1983,[2] and grew up in Bournville.[3][4] Her mother worked in advertising and her father was a journalist, but they separated when she was three years old and she and her elder brother lived with her mother.[3]

One of her great-great-grandmothers was Italian and hailed from Lucca.[5] Her uncle Michael Hadley is also an actor, which prompted Jones's interest in acting as a child.[6]

After Kings Norton Girls' School, Jones attended King Edward VI Handsworth School, to complete A-levels and went on to take a gap year (during which she appeared in the BBC series Servants). She then read English at Wadham College, Oxford.[7] She appeared in student plays, including Attis in which she played the titular role,[8] and, in 2005, Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors for the Oxford University Dramatic Society summer tour to Japan, starring alongside Harry Lloyd.[9]

Career
Main article: List of Felicity Jones performances
Jones began acting at the age of 11 at after-school workshop Central Junior Television, which was funded by Central Television.[3] At age 14, she appeared in the first series of The Worst Witch. When Weirdsister College began in 2001, Jones returned as Hallow. Her longest running role around this time was on the BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers, where she played Emma Carter until 2009 (currently played by Emerald O'Hanrahan).[10]

In 2003, she starred as Grace May in the BBC drama Servants.[11] She took the leading role in the 2007 ITV adaptation of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, and starred in Polly Stenham's That Face at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2007.

In 2008, she appeared in the films Brideshead Revisited and Flashbacks of a Fool,[12] the Doctor Who episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and a revival of Enid Bagnold's The Chalk Garden at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London.[13] In January 2009, the five-part TV serial The Diary of Anne Frank, in which Jones played the role of Margot Frank alongside Tamsin Greig (as Edith Frank-Holländer) and Iain Glen (as Otto Frank), was broadcast on BBC One. Later that year in May, she performed in a rehearsed reading of Anthony Minghella's Hang Up at the High Tide Festival.[14] Jones played the role of Julie in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's 2010 film Cemetery Junction.[15] She also appeared in Soulboy[16] and in Julie Taymor's big screen adaptation of The Tempest as Miranda.

Jones at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival
On 29 January 2011, Jones won a Special Jury Prize (Dramatic) at the Sundance Film Festival for her performance as Anna in Drake Doremus's Like Crazy.[10] For the film, Jones did her own hair and make-up and improvised her dialogue.[10] Her performance earned comparisons to Carey Mulligan's Academy Award-nominated role in An Education.[10] She also received the Best New Hollywood Award for this film at the 2011 Hollywood Film Awards.[17]

She appeared alongside Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick in Chalet Girl, a romantic comedy released in March 2011, for which she had to undergo two months of snowboarding training and work undercover in a chalet at St Anton, scrubbing toilets and partying at the Krazy Kanguruh bar in preparation for the role.[10] Jones said that the role was "something of a relief" after a string of costume roles and she was also keen to take on a comic role.[3] Jones performed in Luise Miller, a new translation of Schiller's Kabale und Liebe by Mike Poulton at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London, in June and July 2011.[18] Jones lived with a Catholic family and attended Mass to prepare for the role.[10] In 2011, Jones was announced as the new face of Burberry.[10] In November, she was also announced as the new face of Dolce & Gabbana.[19]

In 2013, Jones portrayed Ellen Ternan in The Invisible Woman. Jones, previously unfamiliar with Ternan, learned about her life through research,[20] and reflected that she knew she was "in for a challenge" when choosing to work on the film, citing the experience of director Ralph Fiennes and how "methodically done" his performance was.[21] She also appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which was released on 2 May 2014. She played Felicia Hardy; an assistant of Harry Osborn.[22][23] Jones signed on due to its difference from her previous works.[24]

Jones in 2016
In 2014, Jones portrayed Jane Wilde Hawking in the film The Theory of Everything, a biopic charting the life and love between Wilde Hawking and the world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, with Eddie Redmayne starring as Hawking. After being given the script by her agent, Jones read it in its entirety in one sitting, and said that she enjoyed that it was a "love story and not a straightforward biopic." She auditioned for the film and its director, James Marsh, offered the part immediately after, surprising Jones who was accustomed to waiting several weeks for a confirmation.[25] Jones was aided by Jane Hawking in preparing for the role, meeting with her.[26] Jane Hawking was so impressed by the portrayal she wondered if it was herself when watching Jones.[26] For her role as Jane, she received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress,[27] the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role,[28] the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress,[29] the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama,[30] and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.[31]

In February 2015, she was cast as Jyn Erso in the Star Wars stand-alone film Rogue One, with Gareth Edwards directing.[32] Jones's agent recommended the role to her,[33] and she enjoyed the character's search for an identity, drawing inspiration in her movements from Ronda Rousey.[34] The film was released in December 2016 to positive reviews and grossed over $1 billion at the box office. Also in 2016, Jones starred in Inferno, playing a doctor aiding Robert Langdon in his escape. After agreeing to the role, she visited museums and galleries to understand her character better.[35] Jones enjoyed the chemistry between her and Tom Hanks's characters as well as Inferno's overall diversity.[36]

In 2017, Jones was announced as a global brand ambassador for Clé de Peau Beauté.[37]

In late 2018, Jones starred in On the Basis of Sex, a biography of United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, directed by Mimi Leder and co-starring Armie Hammer and Justin Theroux.[38] She then reunited on-screen with Redmayne in the biographical adventure The Aeronauts (2019), joined George Clooney in Netflix's science fiction film The Midnight Sky (2020), and starred in the romantic drama The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021), an adaptation of Jojo Moyes' 2011 novel of the same name.

Jones will next star in the thriller Borderland, alongside Aml Ameen, Mark Strong and Sophia Brown.[39] In May 2022, it was announced that she will lead Simon Amstell's comedy Maria, co-starring Jonathan Bailey.[40]

Personal life
Jones met artist Ed Fornieles at Oxford when he was at the Ruskin School of Art,[10][41] and they dated from 2003 to 2013.[10][42]

In 2015, Jones began a relationship with Charles Guard, a director. They became engaged in May 2017,[43] and married in June 2018.[44] In December 2019, a representative for Jones confirmed the couple were expecting their first child.[45] Their son was born in April 2020.[46] In an interview with Variety in December 2024, Jones revealed she had a second child, born in 2022.
