Abstract:
Nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, Brady Corbet's The Brutalist stands as a monumental achievement in filmmaking. Opening with a mesmerizing and continuous ten-minute overture, composer Daniel Blumberg's music sets the stage for the film's epic narrative, which spans multiple decades and follows fictional Hungarian architect László Toth as he rebuilds his life in post-war America. Encompassing large-scale brass orchestrations, intimately lyrical piano melodies and freewheeling, improvisational jazz, The Brutalist's score is as ambitious and broad in scope as the film itself. Envisioning the score as slabs of sound-rich and resonating while also measured and restrained-the music developed into the sonic embodiment of the Brutalist design aesthetic, where imposing scale and raw textures meet values of simplicity and economy.
