I saw this at the movie theatre today and though the cinematography is impeccable as it was shot in Vistavision, I found that the story, not based on real fact, was once again about capitalism degrading immigrants that came to the United States after the war.
Brody and Jones do their best to carry out this unsatisfying saga, and Pearce does his honorable best to showcase a multimillionaire who takes advantage of a Hungarian architect, but the end result leaves us wondering why we spent three and a half hours in a theatre on a story that did not actually take place.
We are left with unfinished business, a large ugly cement construction behind a mansion in Pennsylvania, and not much else to pin our hopes on.
Does Brodey specialize in films such as "The Pianist" which revolve around holocaust tragedies?
I am sorry but I prefer " Conclave" over this ridiculously self-indulgent film, as it was more concise, and interesting, than this long diatribe that leaves us hopeless.
If it was based on fact, I might give it a different rating.
Brutalist architecture was ugly.
