Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle The Brutalist, a three-and-a-half-hour epic packed with architectural ambition, immigrant struggles, and questionable Hungarian accents. They unpack Adrian Brody’s tormented portrayal of a post-war architect, the film’s sweeping cinematography shot in VistaVision, and the unexpectedly welcome built-in intermission. But does the movie’s historical weight hold up when they realise it’s not based on real events? Sophie is enthralled, Matt remains skeptical, and they both question if The Brutalist is a masterpiece – or just a really long film with beautifully grey lighting. Hosted on Acast.
