Talking about how his story in The Brutalist mirrored his original life, Adrien Brody said, “My mother and my grandparents owned a very similar journey of fleeing war-torn Europe and coming to the U.S. in the ’50s. And the hardships and sacrifice and their own resilience and everything that they endured — in addition to my mother as an artist and her yearnings to leave behind a body of work of some great significance, they’re all things that are very personal to me. So I felt a deep responsibility to convey that authentically.”
