Adrien Brody has revealed that the hardships his grandfather faced as an immigrant inspired his performance in 'The Brutalist'.

"The Brutalist" is a nearly four-hour historical drama starring Adrien Brody as celebrated architect László Tóth. Here's what's real in the new movie.

In depicting an architect who flees Nazi Germany, the Oscar-winning actor was mindful of his mother’s journey to America.

Adrien Brody’s performance as a Hungarian architect in “ The Brutalist ” has won him his first Golden Globe. In the three-and-a-half hour film directed by Brady Corbet, the actor plays László Tóth, a Holocaust survivor trying to rebuild his life in America following the war.

To tell his story, Corbet dusted off VistaVision, a cinematic format developed 70 years ago that yields a richer, more luxurious image. It was a technique embraced by filmmakers like the late Stanley Kubrick, but it hasn’t been seen in North American theatres in over 60 years.
