Ahead of the Oscars on March 2, The Guardian assesses the top contenders for Best Actor, focusing on Adrien Brody's role in 'The Brutalist Career'. At 51, Brody's portrayal of Laszlo Toth, a Hungarian architect with a profound backstory, showcases his intense commitment and prowess. After sweeping several pre-Oscar awards, his performance is deemed his best, standing out among competitors. The film encompasses Toth's challenging journey, highlighting his relationships and contributions, solidifying Brody's status as a leading candidate for the Oscar this year.
Brody is perceived as an actor of immense and serious commitment to his craft which the Oscars enjoy rewarding.
The film charts Toth's career, his combative relationship with his mentor, and his marriage to wife Erzsebet.
Toth is played with angular fierceness and passion by Adrien Brody: a career best for him, surely, and an advance on his performance in Roman Polanski's The Pianist.
This is acting with a capital A and the rest of the word hollered out too. Few could begrudge Brody the prize for such an all-in performance.
