Where: In theatres
Genre: Drama
Why you should watch: One of the buzziest films to come out of TIFF this year is Brady Corbet’s period drama, The Brutalist. After his divisive 2018 drama Vox Lux — which painted a glittering, apocalyptic portrait of contemporary America through pop stardom and school shooters — Corbet returns with a new vision of the complex country. The film follows an architect who arrives in the U.S. after fleeing post-war Europe and stops at nothing to rebuild his career and his life in a new country. Starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce and boasting an eye-catching trailer, The Brutalist is this winter’s must-see.
