Menerjemahkan menjadi bahasa Indonesia: Sutradara Brady Corbet tentang merancang The Brutalist

The expectations for The Brutalist are incredibly high, with actor-turned-director Brady Corbet already winning the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival in September. Now, he enters Hollywood’s big award season with seven Golden Globe nominations for his work on the film, including Director of a Motion Picture, Screenplay of a Motion Picture, and Drama Motion Picture. The Brutalist tells the story of László Tóth (played by Adrien Brody), a Bauhaus architect who moves from Budapest to Pennsylvania after the Holocaust. There, he meets the wealthy Van Buren family, who could potentially revive his struggling career. Despite facing challenges along the way, László’s resilience leads him to design a massive community center.

After an intermission, we see László thriving on the Van Burens’ estate, using their resources to reunite his family and continue his work. However, his personal demons of alcohol, drugs, and infidelity begin to take a toll. Eventually, the story takes a surprising turn as László heads to a marble quarry in Carrara, Italy for a pivotal scene.

In a recent interview, Brady Corbet discussed the film’s themes of individualism, capitalism, immigration, and assimilation, emphasizing their relevance in today’s world. He praised lead actor Adrien Brody for his deep understanding of the material and his portrayal of the complex character of László. Corbet also highlighted the character of Harrison Lee Van Buren, played by Guy Pearce, as a representation of wealthy individuals who collect artists as well as their work.

The film’s setting in Pennsylvania was chosen for its rich architectural history and ties to the Bauhaus movement. Corbet found the process of discovering and exploring this history while making the film to be both educational and rewarding. As for the nearly four-hour runtime of the film, Corbet believes that building trust with the audience and keeping them engaged is an intuitive process for him as a director, drawing on his extensive experience and fluency in the language of cinema.
