Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost....

"The Brutalist is a film with big ideas about the nature of art and its relationship to commerce in America as well as one with the talent behind it to articulate those concerns in stunning fashion."
Evan Dossey
Midwest Film Journal

"A thrillingly ambitious, 3 1/2-hour (including a 15-minute intermission) character study and portrait of mid-century America that leaves an indelible impression."
