Brady Corbet justifies movie’s length as two-hour-plus runtimes become a theme of this year’s Venice festival
How do you properly do justice to the life story of a Hungarian-born Jew who survived the Holocaust and emigrated to the US, where he toiled in poverty and indignity in pursuit of the American dream?
He added: “Because this film does everything we are told that we are not allowed to do. I think it’s quite silly to have a conversation about run time because that’s like criticising a book that has 700 pages instead of 100 pages. I’ve read great novellas and I’ve read longer masterpieces. But long films are a theme of this year’s festival, with many passing the two-hour mark, such as Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie à Deux , Luca Guadagnino’s Queer , Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga, chapters 1 and 2 and Lav Diaz’s Phantosmia .
Asked why he decided to make The Brutalist a film instead of a TV series, Corbet, who won awards at Venice in 2015 for his debut film The Childhood of a Leader, added: “In my experience, television is not a writer’s medium but an executive’s medium.” “Much like László she lost her home and pursued a dream of being an artist. I understand a great deal about the repercussions of that on her life and her work as an artist … is fiction but it feels very real to me,” he said.
