Angelina Jolie's appearance at Venice film festival sparks concerns among fans over visible veinsALBAWABA - The Venice Film Festival audience gave the historical drama "The Brutalist," starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce, a 12-minute standing ovation on Sunday.
As the ovation persisted, Brody, who portrays a Hungarian architect fighting for a second chance in America, became visibly emotional. As he wiped away tears and buried his head in his hands, the actor continued to attempt to redirect the applause toward the film's director and his co-stars, but the camera kept coming back to him.
Over the course of almost four decades, Brody's character, Laszlo Toth, immigrates to the US and starts working for a rich but irascible man who plans to construct an ambitious community center. The play lasts three hours and fifteen minutes, with a fifteen-minute interval.
A tragic catastrophe alters the course of their lives irrevocably, but he assists Laszlo in reuniting with his sick wife Jones and starts construction on the Brutalist-style structure he has always imagined. Additional cast members include Jonathan Hyde, Joe Alwyn, and Alessandro Nivola. Not only did Corbett direct the picture, but he and his wife, Mona Fastvold, also created the script.
Now we return to Adrien's press conference, where he shared a moving anecdote about his mother and how she shaped his film performance.
In his words: "Some of you may know that my mother's work, my mother Sylvia, she's a wonderful photographer—a photographer in New York—but she's also a Hungarian immigrant, who fled Hungary in 1956, during the Hungarian Revolution, and was a refugee—and then immigrated to the United States, and like Laszlo (the role he plays), she started over and lost her home and pursued her dream of being an artist."
This video shows Adrien Brody rushing on the red carpet, as if he's meeting with the film team or catching up with the press. In this hilarious clip, we see the cameras attempting to match his pace.
