I love this film. It is very long, even scheduling in a break. But it is beautiful, imaginative, challenging, and assembled with love and care. It is a melodrama with a conscience. The acting, writing, directing, cinematography,, and production design are uncompromising and near perfect, It's kind of a The Fountainhead with an anti-capitalist spirit,

I love art and architecture as art. I knew what Brutalitism was as an extension of the Bauhaus movement. And the main character is an architect whose designs are clearly part of this form. There is a sly double entendre with the title and another character, who is another kind of brute.

Even though it was long, I was never remotely bored. I know the length will put many people off. This is not the only film that has contrasts art and commerce. But it may be the best. The movie is so beautiful, it is amazing that it was made for 10 million dollars. It is not gimmicky. It is uncompromising. It is extraordinary.
