Unpacking The Brutalist, one of the best, biggest, and most cinematic experiences of the year.
Filmmaker and critic Karsten Runquist returns to the show as he and Schmear dive into director Brady Corbet’s oeuvre and the development of The Brutalist (1:54). They go in-depth on the film’s soaring first half (15:15), Adrien Brody’s performance, and the darker, stranger second half (34:04). They wrap up by discussing the film’s release and reception (1:02:00) and its awards chances.
Then, The Brutalist cinematographer Lol Crawley joins them to talk about pulling off some of the film’s standout scenes (1:12:00), his working relationship with Brady Corbet, and what he thinks Lazlo Toth’s favorite movies might’ve been (1:33:00)!
