‘The Brutalist’ Post-WWII Epic Wows With 13-Minute Ovation – Venice Film Festival
Although the movie was long enough to require an intermission, 'The Brutalist's finale managed to earn an enthusiastic applause at Venice.
On hand were Corbet — whose Vox Lux and Childhood of a Leader previously made their debuts on the Lido — along with cast members Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Stacy Martin, Raffey Cassidy, Emma Laird, Isaach De Bankolé and Alessandro Nivola. Brody told the Venice press corps earlier today that he had felt “immediate kinship and understanding” for the character of Tóth due to the trajectory of his mother, the photographer Sylvia Plachy, an immigrant who fled Hungary in 1956 during the Hungarian Revolution. “She was a refugee and emigrated to the United States, and much like László started again and lost their home and pursued a dream of being an artist… I understand a great deal about the repercussions of that on her life and her work as an artist, which I think is a wonderful parallel with László… This fiction feels very real to me.”
