With its ensemble cast firing on all cylinders, Brady Corbet's sublime, monumental new film is both epic  and intimate, and feels like a throwback to event cinema with chapters, overture and a built-in 15 minute intermission.

Having survived the holocaust and fleeing the continued persecution in post-war Europe, Jewish architect László Toth (Brody) arrives in America to build a life for himself and his family. László settles in Pennsylvania where his work catches the eye of wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Pearce) who commissions him to build a huge brutalist community centre.

But László’s uncompromising vision puts him at odds with his partners, and his legacy comes with a heavy cost.

All screenings will include a 15min intermission with a countdown timer.
