Synopsis

When visionary architect László Toth and his wife Erzsébet flee Europe to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America, their lives are changed forever by a mysterious and wealthy client. The seemingly charming industrialist Harrison Van Buren offers László and his family the American Dream on a silver platter by commissioning him to design a grand modernist monument and help shape the landscape of the country he now calls home. It will be the most ambitious project of his career, one that will take László and Erzsébet to both monumental heights and devastating lows.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

A Hungarian-Jewish architect survives Auschwitz, emigrates to America, and is hired to build a community center that becomes the obsession of a Pennsylvania industrialist. Brady Corbet shot it on VistaVision because Brutalism deserves an image format as honest as concrete.
