synopsis
The story, spanning nearly thirty years, of a Jewish architect born in Hungary, László Toth. Having returned from a concentration camp, he emigrates with his wife, Erzsébet, to the United States after the end of World War II to pursue his “American dream.”
The performances are savagely good, with Pearce and Brody both on awards season form. And it’s shot on rarely seen 70mm film stock, which means that it looks like something beautiful, haunting and strange, but always from the long-forgotten past.
The Times
Corbets Inszenierung ist ein präzise choreographierter Taumel, in dem Kamera, Montage und das Verhalten der Figuren einer ungeahnten Kausalität folgen. Selbst die Architektur birgt ein Geheimnis: Sie ist nicht nach dem Gusto des Bauherrn gestaltet, sondern bildet insgeheim das Trauma des Architekten ab.
