The Brutalist2024

It’s not just that they don’t make movies like this anymore — of course they don’t! — so much as no one bothers to tell these types of sprawling narratives with this level of storytelling, chops, nerve and verve.

粗野派更应翻译成粗野主义，除了指代该建筑风格，亦指代在他国漂泊的外乡人，尤其是犹太人家国不在如野兽般流浪在外的现实。电影是一部关于犹太人的近代史，有人流亡他国沦为草莽，有人被锡安主义号召携眷复国，还有人垒石堆木重塑历史。导演野心颇大，但格局却又稍显局促，最终只能用一个建筑项目穿针引线，把两代人或明或暗被排挤甚至侮辱猥亵的坎坷异乡梦铺陈出来，在结构上颇下功夫。但在剧作上还是有些不满，尤其是一些隐喻没有必要真实发生，颇有些锡安主义的被害妄想症发作之感。亚德里安·布罗迪表演的确值得再来一座小金人，但还要特别鸣谢下盖·皮尔斯，老兄这已经是第N次演这种有点变态的角色但依然手到擒来，希望他有生之年也能得个大奖。

This is a film with thrilling directness and storytelling force, a movie that fills its widescreen and three-and-a half-hour running time with absolute certainty and ease, as well as glorious amplitude, clarity and even simplicity – and yet also with something darkly mysterious and uncanny to be divined in its handsome shape.
