Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist has been like a secret you pass around, or a ghost in the machine. We heard a lot about it but there were no images, no trailer. Finally, a trailer.
Well, it’s more like a teaser. It is still an enigma wrapped in a mystery. But I am rooting for the movie and for Brady Corbet who has taken a big bite. My hope is that he isn’t sucked into the Hollywood machine and given lots of fuck-you money to make some crappy thing. Stay broke, stay hungry.
Easy for me to say I guess. We all need a little bit of a cushion.
