Adrien Brody Explains Why ‘The Brutalist’ “Needs An Intermission”


Adrien Brody defended the 215-minute runtime of his upcoming movie 'The Brutalist', premiering Sunday at the Venice Film Festival.

The Brutalist stars Brody as László Tóth, a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who emigrates to the United States with his wife Erzsébet ( Felicity Jones) after surviving the Holocaust. Working through poverty and indignity toward the “American dream,” László lands a life-changing contract with a mysterious wealthy client, Harrison Lee Van Buren ( Guy Pearce). Brody praised director Brady Corbet, who co-wrote the script with partner Mona Fastvold, emphasizing that he has “immense trust in him and his vision as a filmmaker.”
