The Brutalist (2024) is a gripping architectural thriller that delves into the complex world of design, power, and obsession. Set against the backdrop of a world increasingly consumed by the pursuit of modernity, the film follows the rise of an ambitious architect who becomes entangled in the high-stakes game of urban development.
