Natalie Portman On How Brady Corbet’s ‘The Brutalist’ Is A Welcome Respite In An “Era Of Algorithmic Content Creation And Franchise Fatigue”: Guest Column
Natalie Portman, who starred in Brady Corbet's 2018 pop star drama 'Vox Lux' pens Deadline column about how his latest multi-Oscar nominated movie 'The Brutalist' speaks to our times.
A soaring tribute to the human capacity for creation, Brady and his co-writer (and life-partner) Mona Fastvold concocted a riveting story of perseverance, artistry and the power of love in the face of adversity as László begins life anew in America after experiencing unfathomable horrors in Europe during World War II. Loosely based on the work and careers of several Brutalist architects like Marcel Breuer and Louis Kahn, Corbet and Fastvold succeed in making László, like their other films’ protagonists, feel like he could have walked out of real life and into history. László channels his wartime pain and grief into the monumental commission at the heart of The Brutalist much like how Celeste in Vox Lux reflected a national tragedy in her music and performance.
