The Brutalist director Brady Corbet is hopeful that the success of his historical epic, which stars Adrien Brody as fictional architect László Tóth, could mark a turning point for the film industry. Made with a budget of less than $10 million, the film has gone on to win three Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture – Drama. It's also been nominated for nine BAFTAs and is hotly tipped for this year's Oscars.
"Even if someone doesn't connect with the film, it's so significant for what it signals for the film industry – that, for example, Oppenheimer making a billion dollars at the box office is maybe not just a fluke," Corbet tells GamesRadar+ when we ask how he's feeling about the movie's award season recognition. "People are actually interested in seeing films that are historical, and films that are about adult characters and adult relationships, and all of these things that sales companies frequently tell you are like box office poison."
