There really isn't much continuity between the two, so I realise that it's a bit of a stretch, but I can't help but see some of The Brutalist in Train Dreams, a new Netflix movie that just got its full trailer after a couple of months building up the hype over time. It looks like a staggeringly pretty, intense movie about the experience of life on the American frontier in days gone by.
Joel Edgerton stars as Robert Grainier, a fictional worker on the American railroad who experiences long periods away from his wife (Felicity Jones) and child – and sees in real-time as the true wilds of the continent are tamed and felled, sweeping away some of the mystery and majesty of what was there before.
