SUBLIME CINEMA #692 - THE BRUTALIST

I wasn't as gaga over this movie as many were, I found it overly long, under-edited, and Laszlo (Adrien Brody's) character unlikeable. However - the images were breathtaking, and many sequences were deeply moving and left me hypnotized well after they passed by.

It was absolutely worth seeing in IMAX, and Vista Vision is a rare treat in 2025. Every penny of it is seen up close in a texture that is all too lacking in the cinema these days.

Brady Corbet delivered something that cannot be confused for what passes for a film these days on most streaming services. This is a film - told in grand, operatic images and steeped in a deep nostalgia for world that might never have existed.

I ran into a TCM staff member on Monday who gave me his one recommendation for this year’s #TCMFF , “Do not miss the VistaVision screenings!”

The two rare VistaVision screenings will be WE’RE NO ANGELS (1955) and GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL (1957) on Saturday, presented using VistaVision projectors specially installed at the historic @ChineseTheaters @IMAX

A lot of the Paramount "VistaVision" films peak the very moment the VistaVision logo comes onscreen.
