The Brutalist builds an impressive trailer

Among the most anticipated movies of the season, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is finally bringing its VistaVision drama to the masses. Before it arrives, the architects of cinema over at A24 have finally released a full trailer for Corbet’s film, showing off the larger-than-life images and grand scale of the Silver Lion-winning Golden Globe nominee. Set to Daniel Blumberg’s booming, brassy “Overture,” the trailer lays out details of this mid-century epic. Most importantly, we finally got to see some buildings, which Brody reminds us were “devised to survive such erosions” as war. Those buildings, landscapes, and production designs all look immaculate, whetting appetites for big brutalist architecture in 70mm VistaVision. They also show off the central tension between Brody’s architect and Guy Pearce’s condescending industrialist.
