The film's tale is inspired by Ayn Rand's book "The fountainhead" and the film is broadly an inversion of that book, though Ms Rand is not credited. The character of Laszlo Toth in the movie is an amalgam of two Hungarian architects, who emigrated to USA and made interesting architectural works, which are indirectly referenced in the film. Interestingly, there was a real Laszlo Toth, a geologist, who vandalized Michelangelo's famous sculpture "The Pieta" in 1972 (housed in St Peter's Basilica, Vatican) made from the marble sourced from the same mines in Italy, as shown in "The Brutalist." (For more information on the subject of that marble source and how Michelangelo used it, view Konchalovsky's film masterpiece "Sin".) As a film, the director and the co-scriptwriters have procured real information and melded them into a fictional tale. The use of Vistavision and blowing the Vistvision print into a 70mm version is a fascinating technology. Interesting film but not great cinema.
