The Brutalist has already won three prizes at the Golden Globes, and picked up nine Bafta film nominations.
The film, which is also tipped to be a big contender at the Oscars, is released in UK cinemas this Friday.
Starring Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones, it tells the tale of a Hungarian architect who is hired by a wealthy American after World War Two.
It’s also really long: 215 minutes including a 15-minute intermission in the middle.
I grew up watching Bollywood films, so a lengthy film doesn’t spook me.
But my colleague Lizo Mzimba asked director Brady Corbet for his take on the duration.
“I think that’s something you can’t concern yourself with. You have to do what’s right for the project,” he said.
“The length of a movie is similar to the length of a book, a double album, a painting on a big canvas. I love small portraits and I love [German painter] Anselm Kiefer. For me, there’s a space for both of them.
“And at the end of the day, especially if the film has an intermission, it’s only 100 minutes on each side so it’s not so bad.”
Lizo’s also interviewed the stars of the show – watch out for that later this week.
