The Brutalist writer-director Brady Corbet & production designer Judy Becker on making an Oscar-nominated epic


Listen Later

This is the first of two episodes of our chats centred around the Oscar-nominated epic The Brutalist. First, Dom Lenoir sits down with writer-director Brady Corbet. Starting out as an actor, he seamlessly transitioned into a highly successful career behind the camera. Some of his acclaimed works include The Childhood of a Leader (2015) and Vox Lux (2018). Today, he talks all about:

  • Writing and directing The Brutalist
  • Putting the cast together
  • Storyboarding and rehearsals
  • The challenges of making a 3.5-hour epic with a budget of under $10 million
  • Next, Giles Alderson chats with production designer Judy Becker. You might recognise her incredible work from films like Brokeback Mountain (2005), Shame (2011), Silver Linings Playbook (2012), American Hustle (2013), and Carol (2015), just to name a few. She shares insights on:

    • Breaking into the industry
    • Working on The Brutalist
    • Workflow and mood boards
    • Sit back, relax, and enjoy our epic conversations with Brady Corbet and Judy Becker. And don’t miss part two with Guy Pearce, coming this Friday!
