Soon you’ll be able to watch A24’s Oscar-winning epic “The Brutalist” from the comfort of your own home, personal library or other architectural wonder.
Directed by Brady Corbet and starring best actor winner Adrien Brody, “The Brutalist” will begin streaming on Max on May 16. It will debut on HBO linear on Saturday, May 17, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
In addition to Brody, who picked up his second Oscar for best actor, “The Brutalist” stars supporting actress nominee Felicity Jones, supporting actor nominee Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin, Emma Laird, Isaach de Bankolé and Alessandro Nivola.
“The Brutalist” was up for 10 Academy Awards earlier this year and won for Brody’s incredible best actor performance, the original score by Daniel Blumberg and the cinematography by Lol Crawley. It was also up for best director, supporting actor, supporting actress, original screenplay, editing and production design.
Here’s the official logline of the 3+ hour epic, which includes an intermission: “Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth (Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Pearce) recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.”
In addition to directing the film, Corbet wrote the script with Mona Fastvold. He also produced the film with Trevor Matthews, Nick Gordon, Brian Young, Andrew Morrison, Andrew Lauren and D.J. Gugenheim.
