The Brutalist (Kommunales Kino (Koki)

In the organizer's words:

+++ Please note the different showtimes for this movie +++

After World War II, the Hungarian-Jewish architect Laszlo Toth (Adrien Brody) emigrates to the USA to build a new life for himself. He initially finds shelter with his cousin Attila, who runs a furniture store in Pennsylvania. Then the powerful and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) becomes aware of the master builder, who was famous in Europe before the war. The capitalist's unerring intuition tells him that Laszlo can build a monument for him that will bring him further fame. The mammoth project is to consist of a library, a sports hall, an event hall and a chapel - built entirely of steel and concrete in the Brutalist style. Guy Pearce plays the rich developer as an eloquent barbarian who appears cultured and capable of self-irony. He is patron and exploiter in one person. The desire to create something without limits chains him and Laszlo together. The real emotional core of director Brady Corbet's film, however, is the all-overshadowing sadness of the marriage between Laszlo and his wife Erzsebet (Felicity Jones). Both narrowly escaped the horrors of the Holocaust in their hometown of Budapest. With badly damaged souls, they both struggle, each in their own way, with the wounds of the past and also with the feeling of not being able to find a foothold in their new home. A three-and-a-half-hour immigrant epic of visual power that tells of high-flying dreams as well as deep despair.
