I've been really looking forward to this one. It's been getting a lot of buzz and seems to be one of the frontrunners for the 2025 Best Picture Oscar.

Apologies to NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt who already posted this in the New Movie Trailers Thread but I thought I'd give this one a thread of it's own. Not a huge amount to go on in the teaser but it's looking pretty spectacular.

Edit: EviLore can you remove one of the "In cinemas this December" from the title? That's what I get for writing half of this hours ago and not properly checking it before I post.

This about architecture?

Or is this just what "Megalopolis" wished it could have been?

It’s about an architect yeh. But pretty different than Megalopolis.

From a synopsis for it:

The film chronicles 30 years in the life of László Tóth, a fictional Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survives the Holocaust. After the end of World War II, he emigrates to the United States with his wife, Erzsébet, to experience the “American dream.” László initially endures poverty and indignity, but he soon lands a contract with a wealthy client, Harrison Lee Van Buren, that will change the course of his life.

It looks interesting Enough. I think I will catch this at some point. I usually enjoy A24 Pictures. My biggest anticipations are Heretic and The Backrooms.

The poster's visual is superb.

The Brutalist or Anora will be best picture for the year

I’m really looking forward to Anora too. Not long to go for that.

 

[Days like these...]

I'm in even though I dislike brutalist architecture

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Is this based on Robert Moses in anyway?

 

[AJUMP23]

No idea what it is about.

Anora was so good, Mikey Madison is gonna win an Oscar, she's just phenomenal.

Sean Baker deserves more flowers. Really one of the best directors working today.

In the sense that it's critically acclaimed and respected

Megalopolis was truly a singularly bizarre film, belongs on the Mount Rushmore of bad movies.
