Reportedly the first American film fully produced in VistaVision since One-Eyed Jacks in 1961, it screens in its Venice Film Festival premiere in 70mm, a giant canvas amply justified by the narrative’s variegated textures.
Shot in VistaVision – the first US film in this format since 1961’s Marlon Brando-starrer One-Eyed Jacks – and screening in its Venice premiere in 70mm, The Brutalist is sumptuous in its stylistic execution, revealing Corbet as an actor-turned-director who can rise to the challenge of his ambitions.
…the first American film to use the wide-screen format since Marlon Brando’s One-Eyed Jacks, in 1961…
During a “One-Eyed Jacks”-like second act in which Swagger bides his time while recovering from injuries, centerstage is shared by young FBI agent Nick Memphis (Michael Pena).
The acting by the two protagonists Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger is outstanding, with Ledger's being one of the great ones in film history as his part is the more challenging and he more than meets the challenge (it may be on par with Brando's "method acting" in "One-Eyed Jacks," though he still has a long way to go to become as versatile as the legendary actor).
He even includes a clip of his Moreau star, Marlon Brando, in One-Eyed Jacks.
