Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is big. Big themes, big performances, big runtime—pushing nearly 4 hours of artistic ambition. But does it earn its place among the great cinematic epics, or is it weighed down by its own self-seriousness? 🤔

In this episode of Furman on Film, Nick Furman and returning guest Adam Kline break down Corbet’s latest film, exploring:
🏛️ The breathtaking first half vs. the divisive second half
🎭 Adrien Brody’s quiet brilliance vs. Guy Pearce’s scene-stealing chaos
📖 That jaw-dropping third act—powerful or over-the-top?
🎬 Corbet’s meta approach—self-reflective or self-indulgent?

The Brutalist is a movie that demands discussion, and we’re here for it. Listen in as we unpack the film’s highs, lows, and everything in between!
