Ep 307: “The Brutalist”

January 21, 2025

We commission Adrien Brody’s “The Brutalist” to discuss:



  • Cinematography, oners, breaking up the frame with style and tone;
  • Story & Writing, immigration, symbolism;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

When you get to know a lot of people, you make a great discovery. You find that no one group has a monopoly on looks, brains, goodness or anything else. It takes all the people – black and white, Catholic, Jewish and Protestant, recent immigrants and Mayflower descendants – to make up America. – Judy Garland
