Golden Globes: Best Director Award Winner Brady Corbet on The Brutalist

Brady who also took home the award for Best Director at the Golden Globes shared, “Depicting architecture on screen is difficult because it’s in-animate, and shooting in-animate objects has never been easy for me — instead of just presenting architecture in the movie, the challenge for us was representing it.”

He further added, “The Brutalist is both outsized and imposing but it’s also quite austere, and I think the score plays a crucial role in conveying the film’s central themes. The film is about many things, including building a building, but it’s also a movie about making a movie. Architecture and filmmaking have a lot in common because it takes roughly the same amount of people to construct a building or make a movie. The Brutalist for me was a way of talking about the more bureaucratic aspect of the artistic process.”
