Brady Corbet, accepting a Golden Globe for directing “The Brutalist,” emphasized the importance of his family in creating the film, particularly his daughter Ada James. Ada has been involved with the project since she was three years old. The film, a collaboration between Corbet and his partner Mona Fastvold, tells the story of a Hungarian architect and his wife grappling with American life. The film is a top contender at this year’s Oscars, with multiple nominations. Corbet and Fastvold have a successful partnership, with their routine writing process leading to critical acclaim.
The road to the Awards season was challenging for “The Brutalist” due to the film’s length and post-pandemic financial obstacles. Despite difficulties securing financing, Corbet and Fastvold made the film for $10 million, aiming for authenticity, even using AI for language accuracy. Beyond accolades, the film is a personal triumph for Corbet, who grew up on film sets before transitioning into directing. As the Awards season concludes, Corbet and Fastvold are eager to return home to Brooklyn and resume their routine of working on their next project, reinforcing the importance of family and a balanced life outside of filmmaking. The success of “The Brutalist” serves as a tribute to Corbet’s upbringing and his mother Mary, who is touched by her son’s achievements. After months of travel and work, Corbet is looking forward to being fully present as a father once again.
