My name is Brady Corbet and I’m the co-author and director of “The Brutalist. For the self-supporting floors, we plan to make use of T-shaped T-shaped rays integrated here in concrete slabs. This is a sequence through which Adrien Brody's character Laszlo Toth defended his project against a bunch of local supporters and financiers who’ve brought a neighborhood architect to judge his plans for the project. We turned this sequence on the outskirts of Budapest in a granite quarry because we couldn’t afford to open a set openly. I mean, we had big ideas about what this place could possibly be, and just digging a hole in the bottom that’s so necessary is kind of expensive. So this quarry was perfect with regard to the circumference and the dimensions, and we’ve lit and amazed it to make it right into a sentence through which these characters can lead a 3-minute conversation. The only cut on this overhead in the midst of the sequence was actually only to align spectators. But the scene is a shot and it’s a setting that typically shoots all the things. The reason why we shoot all the things in a single will not be just for formal reasons, but in addition just for planning reasons. “Laszlo has offered to compensate for these costs personally.” “No, I'm sorry, but you asked me to come here to tell you what we don't need. Simple and simple. The only thing we don't need is this guy. “It is much easier to set up a shot and always do one thing and do it well than the reporting like in most television programs of each individual artist. Philosophically they only cut when there is a reason for cutting. Otherwise, it feels as if it is often what is just a plaster in a project in which you only wake up everything. “Everything that’s ugly, cruel, silly, but above all ugly, all the things … is your fault.” And so I think for myself that you have grasped the feeling of sunlight you have. It only occurs after the sequence. And because the spectators all know enough about the process that it somehow feels unauthentically when they cut around. “He beat me.” “I trust you.” So I believe there is absolutely something which you can say to do all the things in a frame.
