The novelty of Brady Corbet, which tells the story of the visionary architect László Toth (Adrien Brody), affects the Brazilian theaters Thursday (20)
Bruntalist architecture is known for having evoked a sense of rigidity, with its heavy and great forms which, at first glance, may seem without humanity. This architectural style has become a powerful metaphor in The brutalistfrom Brady Corbet (Vox Lux – The price of fame), which reaches Brazilian theaters from this Thursday (20).
In the news, the work of Luaszló Tyt (Adrien Brody, The pianist), a Hungarian immigrant architect, reflects not only his obsession to leave a legacy, but also the emotional and existential weight that leads from his arrival to the United States after surviving the Holocaust.
From the beginning, the film puts us in a universe of dissonance and discomfort, suggesting that the “American dream” that Tith The research will be impenetrable and oppressive as the buildings themselves create. The choice of Corbet In modeling the narrative from this solid and uncompromising architecture it becomes a physical reflection of the internal and external barriers that the protagonist must face.
Almost four hours, the epic offers us a time of rare reflection and immersion in contemporary cinema. The slow and meticulously built rhythm reflects the monumental and almost winding nature of Tith.
His incessant search for a great architectural inheritance increases the emotional and dramatic tension of the film. Like brutalist architecture, which tries to be eternal, the characteristic does not hurry to carry out, allowing the complexity of the history to be gradually and painfully. The story of Tith It is marked by the impotence and silent violence of a system that does not allow its idealists to find a real space of belonging.
The interpretation of Adrien Brody AS Luaszló Tyt It is essential for this anguish of The brutalist. Oscar winner for the best actor for The pianist Again it offers a performance that goes beyond the stereotype of the “tormented genius”, offering a visceral and complex reading of a man marked with a painful past, but obsessed with the construction of something that defines it.
Tith He reflects the disconnection and struggle of many who try to adapt to a society that claims to be inclusive, but who in practice refuses and crushes their ambitions. Brody He can transmit the pain of a man who tries to fill the emptiness of his past through his art, while he is crushed by the harshness of reality around him.
Guy Pearce (Amnesia), in turn, stands out in addition that it has a lot of time on the screen, offering an interpretation full of shades such as Harrison Van BurenA character ranging from an apparent combined with a figure full of moral ambiguity.
The movie Corbet It becomes even more intriguing by entering political criticisms, exposing the brutality of the American capitalist society, which seems to be willing to absorb and destroy everything in its own way, even the most noble of intentions. Teth’s search for the American dream quickly transforms into a nightmare, since he discovers that, after all, this promised land is rigid and insensitive as the cement that enhances.
The brutalist Not only does it question the promises of capitalism, but also explore the alienation that follows someone’s attempt to try to fit into a system that sees it only as a disposable product. The American dream of Tith It is therefore the reflection of a bitter truth: society is cruel for those who try to overcome their boundaries, both physical and social.
The functionality also benefits from a single structure, including a 15 -minute break, which offers the public the opportunity to elaborate what has been seen so far. This pause, far from being a conventional resource, becomes a moment of reflection, which separates the journey from Tith In two distinct half: their silent search for acceptance and the explosion of internal and external conflicts, in which violence and anger finally manifest themselves.
The brutalistTherefore, it passes from introspective meditation on identity to a history of deconstruction of the American dream, which puts the ambition of the protagonist in shock with the limits of its being in a society that swallows its ambitions and promises more than it can deliver.
