Story
When visionary architect László Toth and his wife Erzsébet flee post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America, their lives are changed forever by a mysterious and wealthy client.. Laszlo Toth was also the name of the man who defaced the Michelangelo statue The Pieta with a hammer.. Referenced in Close-Up: Why do We Need the Venice Film Festival? (2024). Rating – 9.1: Overall, a great epic that both pays homage to the time period and revolutionizes how we can tell stories, as it shows what can be done with such a low budget, all brought together by great filmmaking, profound writing, and an incredible performance from Adrien Brody.
