The Brutalist Triumphs at the 2025 BAFTA Awards
The 2025 BAFTA Awards saw The Brutalist emerge as one of the night’s standout films, securing four awards, including Best Director for Brady Corbet and Best Leading Actor for Adrien Brody. The film, which explores the life of fictional architect László Tóth, also won accolades for its cinematography and original screenplay. Brody’s portrayal of Tóth, a Holocaust survivor who channels his traumatic experiences into his architectural designs, earned him his first BAFTA. The film’s production design, led by Judy Becker, intricately mirrored the oppressive structures of Nazi concentration camps, blending brutalist architecture with deeply personal historical references.
At the ceremony, hosted by David Tennant at London’s Royal Festival Hall, The Brutalist faced stiff competition from Conclave, which also took home four awards, including Best Film. Despite this, The Brutalist’s critical acclaim and technical achievements solidified its place as a major contender in the awards season, with its themes of memory, trauma, and architectural innovation resonating strongly with audiences and critics alike. The film’s success at the BAFTAs has further fuelled speculation about its prospects at the upcoming Oscars.
