The Brutalist trailer and UK release date – Golden Globes winner set for Oscars | Films | Entertainment

Last night at the Golden Globes, the new post-World War II epic won three of the biggest awards of the night.

In addition to taking home Best Motion Picture Drama, The Brutalist’s Adrien Body won Best Drama Actor, and its director Brady Corbet garnered Best Director.

The critically-acclaimed almost 4 hour film comes 23 years after Brody played another Holocaust survivor in his Oscar-winning performance for The Pianist.

Showered with 5-star reviews and hailed as a masterpiece on par with The Godfather, this time around, the star plays László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect. His character emigrates to the USA with his wife (Felicity Jones) at the end of World War II to experience the American dream.

At first, the couple struggle in poverty before he scores a contract with a wealthy client (Guy Pearce).

At 215 minutes long, The Brutalist is longer than both The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon. Incredibly, Brady Corbet’s A24 production managed to keep the budget at $10 million.

As it stands the film is odds-on to repeat its Golden Globes success at the Oscars on March 3, being the favourite for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.

The Brutalist is released in UK cinemas on January 24, 2025.
