Mumbai, 14th February 2025:* Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) is proud to announce the release of _The Brutalist_ on 28th February 2025, following its remarkable success at the Golden Globe Awards, where it won *Best Motion Picture—Drama* , *Best Director* , and *Best Actor in a Motion Picture* —Drama. Directed by *Brady Corbet* , the film has a stellar cast, featuring Academy Award winner and Critic’s Choice award winner for the best actor *Adrien Brody* , Academy Award, BAFTA nominee *Felicity Jones* , *Guy Pearce* , *Joe Alwyn* , *Raffey Cassidy* , *Stacy Martin* , *Isaach De Bankolé* and *Alessandro Nivola* . After premiering at the Venice International Film Festival, the film received widespread critical acclaim, with Brody’s performance being hailed as his “career best,” “electric,” “extraordinary,” and “exceptional.” Corbet was also honored with the prestigious *Silver Lion for Best Director at the film festival.*
At its core, _The Brutalist_ showcases ambition, resilience, and the sacrifices required to forge a legacy. The story follows László Toth (Adrien Brody), a visionary architect who flees post-war Europe and arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being separated by shifting borders and wartime regimes. Settling in Pennsylvania, László’s talent catches the eye of Harrison Lee Van Buren, a wealthy and influential industrialist who offers him an opportunity to redefine the architectural landscape. However, power and legacy come at an unforgiving cost.
Golden Globe Award winner for Best Director, Brady Corbet shares, _“It’s a time period that has always fascinated me, primarily in the way that post-war psychology had this extraordinary imprint and influence on post-war architecture,”_ he further adds _“Something all three of my movies have in common is that they are very much about the cyclical nature of history. The Brutalist is a historical film, and the characters are written to their circumstance. The film has much to say about the immigrant experience in America and how the American Dream fails László and Erzsébet Tóth.”_
