I Watched The Brutalist Streaming, But Watching At Home Loses One Of The Most Charming Parts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Brutalist, a movie CinemaBlend described as a 'unique marvel in 21st-century cinema,' was the best movie I saw in 2024, and a theater experience on the same level as modern classics like There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men. In fact, I sat through Brady Corbet's Academy Award-winning epic twice during its theatrical run, and loved it even more the second time around. So, when I found out it was going to be available with a Max subscription (like so many other great A24 movies), I decided to explore the deconstruction of the American dream through the eyes of Adrien Brody's László Tóth once more. To my surprise, one of the most charming (and talked about) parts of the movie was much different in this version. And I don't know how I feel… Max: Save Up To $41 On Annual PlansWith free trials and other introductory offers all but scrapped, the best way to save money on most subscriptions these days is by prepaying for a year upfront. The same goes for Max, with up to 16% off its choice of three plans. Alternatively, its cheapest plan starts from $9.99 a month. I'd always recommend getting Max as a part of the bundle with Disney Plus and Hulu, though, starting from $16.99 a Deal Let me say this: there is no wrong way to watch The Brutalist. I felt the same way watching it on my TV at home as I did upon first experiencing the surprisingly cost-efficient drama on the big screen all those months ago. The imagery, the themes, the outstanding performances by Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, and Joe Alwyn were just as moving on a 50-inch TV as they were in a dark theater. If, for some reason, you think you missed the boat by not catching the theatrical run and are afraid you'll lose something watching at home, know that this is not the case. I will admit that some of the scale is lost, but this was something I easily got over not long after László Tóth first arrived in America with the promise of a better future. But there is one change that was made to The Brutalist on streaming when compared to the theatrical release. Remember how everyone was talking about the 15-minute intermission before the movie even came out late last year? Well, it's still there in this version… it's just shorter. Much shorter. When the first half of the movie came to a close and 'Intermission' flashed upon my screen, I expected to see the 15-minute timer ticking down. However, this version instead has a one-minute timer. Everything else about the sequence is the same – it's still a static image of László and Erzsébet's wedding before World War II upended their lives – but it just felt different. I'm not sure if it was Brady Corbet or A24 who decided to trim 14 minutes from the intermission for The Brutalist's home release, but it does make sense. Having the ability to pause the movie during the intermission means you can make it a single minute, 15 minutes, or use it as an opportunity to split the movie into a two-part miniseries if you start it too late at night. Plus, it also makes the movie 14 minutes shorter… Want To Watch Other New Movies Streaming?

The intermission was one of the little charms and throwbacks to classic cinema that made The Brutalist such a unique theatrical experience. Like I said, it's still a tremendously powerful movie that everyone should watch at least once, but I'm still a little bummed. That said, go out and watch The Brutalist, take in its massive scope and scale, and press pause for 14 extra minutes during the intermission if you're so inclined.

Cannes Market Head Talks Technology Push With New ‘Village Innovation', AI Summit & Immersive Market
Updated 9am PT May 8 to reflect changes to AI Summit: Brady Corbet's Oscar and Globe-winning drama The Brutalist wound up in the eye of a brief awards season storm in January after it emerged that AI had been used to modify the dialogue of its co-stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. The storm was downgraded to a squall after Corbet explained that his sound team had worked with Ukrainian AI voice company Respeecher to 'refine certain vowels and letter for accuracy' in the co-stars' Hungarian-language dialogue, while English-language dialogue had not been touched. More from Deadline Andy Serkis' Animated Film 'Animal Farm' Sets Sales With Goodfellas Animation - Cannes Market Italy's Fandango Appoints Laura Nacher As Head Of Sales As Part Of International Push - Cannes Market Plaion Takes Italian Rights For Dutch Romantic Drama 'Red Flags' - Cannes Market Four months on, Respeecher CEO and co-founder Alex Serdiuk will be at the Cannes Marché du Film for a panel entitled 'AI Voices for Hollywood and Beyond', which will touch on the company's involvement in The Brutalist as well as Jacques Audiard's 2024 Cannes Jury Prize and Oscar winner Emilia Pérez. The event is among a raft of technology and innovation-focused talks, panels and demonstrations scheduled to take place at the market's new Village Innovation, a 1,000 meter-square space in the Pantiero area overlooking the old port. The village, which incorporates part of the market's long running Cannes Next program, has a focus on AI, virtual production and immersive content but touches on all aspects of technology that intersect with cinema. 'The village is part of our larger ambition to make Cannes a key innovation event, at the intersection of technology and the film industry,' says Cannes Market head Guillaume Esmiol. 'We're not looking to compete with tech events like CES or IBC. Our aim is rather to discuss how technology innovation can be at the service of creativity.' Esmiol, who took over from long-time market head Jérôme Paillard in 2023, having begun his career in the digital domain at French TV network TF1, says the time is ripe for the market to move further into the technology space. 'The idea is to get all film professionals engaged with this topic,' he says. 'It's open to everyone, whether they have a market or a festival badge.' He acknowledges that developments such as generative AI are a divisive issue in the film industry. 'It's not the market's role to take a position on whether technology is good or bad. Our role is to explain what's happening. With AI, whether you like it or not, you still have to understand what's happening,' he adds. Other program highlights include an AI project pitching session overseen by the Sylvester Stallone-backed analytics platform a workshop by A.J. Wedding and Brian Nitzkin at L.A-based virtual production specialist Orbital Studios (Snowfall, History's Greatest Heists) exploring Nvidia's Omniverse platform; a panel on how filmmakers can use generative AI without losing their voice, with speakers including Leonine co-founder and Oscar-winning producer Max Wiedemann, who is currently Head of AI at the Mediawan Group, and a case study with Paris-based VFX and animation company McGuff on the tools and techniques behind the Face Creative Engine used in Julia Ducournau's 2025 Palme d'Or contender Alpha. A handful of Cannes Next discussions will take place outside of the Village Innovation, such as a conversation on the market's main stage between Japanese games creator and auteur Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear, Death Stranding) and German Turkish director Fatih Akin, who is in Cannes Official Selection with Amrum, on how technology has impacts their storytelling. Roman Coppola and Leo Matchett will also be back at the market to discuss DCP+, the streaming platform launched last year by their Blockchain-based film funding platform Decentralized Pictures, which is a sister company to American Zentropa. The market is also aiming to take the conversation around AI to another level with its inaugural one-day AI Summit on May 15. Previously announced guest Rob Bredow, SVP, Creative Innovation, Digital Production & Technology Lucasfilm & ILM, who was to due to give a keynote, can no longer make it to Cannes and new speakers are to due to be unveiled in the coming days (noted added May 8). The Oscar-nominated visual effects veteran, whose credits include Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Mandalorian and Aquaman, had recently given a Ted Talk championing ILM's creative legacy as well as future opportunities offered by AI. The invite-only summit aims to gather decision-makers, technologists and creators for discussions around investment opportunities, strategic partnerships and the future of AI-driven innovation in cinema and entertainment. 'We're inviting 150 to 200 high profile guests,' says Esmiol. 'It's different from the events at the Village Innovation which is open to everyone… this is for people who are from the cinema industry, who are already working with technology. The aim is to lay on a high-level summit.' Beyond AI and virtual production, the other key pole of the market's technology focus is immersive content, in conjunction with the festival's second Immersive Competition (a reboot of the Cannes XR Competition). The 16-title 2025 selection includes Eloise Singer Trailblazer, about German automobile pioneer Bertha Benz, which is EP'ed and voiced by Daisy Ridley; Iranian artist Navid Khonsari's Lili, featuring Cannes Best Actress winner Zar Amir; Dutch immersive directors and producers Maartje Wegdam and Nienke Huitenga-Broeren's Lacuna, revisiting an octogenarian's World War Two memories, and The Exploding Girl, genre duo Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel's who were in Cannes Directors' Fortnight last year with feature Eat The Night. After last year's out of town location, the works will be gathered in an exhibition at the Carlton Hotel. 'It generated around 3,000 sessions last year but the feedback we got was that it needed to be closer to the main festival,' says Esmiol. Many of the contenders will be participating in a series of talks bannered Immersive Spotlights at the Village Innovation. The market is also launching its inaugural Immersive Market, which will be situated on the Art Explora catamaran, and revolve around a seven-day Curators Network, aimed at connecting museum curators, cultural institutions, and themed entertainment venues with immersive works and creators. 'The competition is managed by the festival, but we are able to complement this work with the market,' says Esmiol. 'One of the biggest challenges for immersive works is their distribution… last year's competition attracted a lot of attention so this year we made a big effort to connect with curators who we thought could be interested in this sort of market.'

What to Stream: 'Paddington in Peru,' Prince Royce, 'Mormon Wives' and Doom: The Dark Ages
NEW YORK (AP) — Paddington bear going on an Indiana Jones-style adventure in 'Paddington in Peru' and Alexander Skarsgard playing a robot with free will in Apple TV+'s series 'Murderbot' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: The Dominican-American singer Prince Royce covers hit songs on 'Eterno,' the surprise Bravo hit 'Mormon Wives' returns for Season 2 and there's a new gaming chapter in the groundbreaking Doom series, Doom: The Dark Ages. New movies to stream from May 12-18 — Brady Corbet's epic 'The Brutalist' is finally making its way to Max on Friday, May 16. The three-and-a-half-hour postwar saga won Adrien Brody the best actor Oscar earlier this year for his portrayal of László Tóth, a fictional architect and Holocaust survivor who attempts to build a new life in America. It was also awarded the best score (Daniel Blumberg) and best cinematography prizes. Director of photography Lol Crawley shot in VistaVision, a 70-year-old format famously utilized in films like 'Vertigo' and 'North by Northwest.' In her review, AP's Jocelyn Noveck wrote, 'It's about the immigrant experience, and it's about what happens when the American dream beckons, then fails. It also explores a different dream: the artist's dream, and what happens when it meets opposing forces, be they geographic displacement or cold economic calculus.' — Paddington bear and the Brown family go on an Indiana Jones-style adventure in 'Paddington in Peru,' streaming on Netflix on Thursday. This third installment in the charming series has a few changes from its predecessors — in the filmmaker (Dougal Wilson taking over for Paul King) and Mrs. Brown (Emily Mortimer subbing in for Sally Hawkins). In his review, AP Film Writer Jake Coyle wrote that Wilson 'can't quite summon the same comic spirit' as King, but added that 'bright and buoyant, will do. If some of King's Wes Anderson-inspired pop-up book designs and skill with fine character actors is missing, the bedrock earnestness and unflaggingly good manners of its ursine protagonist remain charmingly unaltered.' — In March 1988, the students of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. staged a historic protest over the appointment of a hearing president instead of one who was deaf. 'Deaf President Now!,' a documentary streaming on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 16, chronicles that moment and examines its broader impact, like how it helped pave the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act. The film's visuals and soundscape were also designed to bring audiences into the Deaf experience. — AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr New music to stream from May 12-18— Somehow, some way it has been 25 years since Britney Spears first put on a red latex catsuit and sang 'Oops!... I Did It Again' through her singular breathy tone, the title track of her sophomore album. Across the album – which includes other hits 'Lucky' and 'Stronger' – she ushered in new millennium as a zeitgeist-shaping pop superstar. Her influence in the decades that followed is unimpeachable, and on Friday, Sony will release a 25th anniversary edition of the record, complete with bonus tracks. — Colombian-Canadian singer-songwriter Lido Pimienta returns with an ambitious new album, 'La Belleza.' It arrives five years after her breakout 'Miss Colombia,' and features the inventive artist veering into new, classical influences while maintaining her interest in Afro-Indigenous polyrhythms; the record was co-orchestrated with skilled arranger Owen Pallett. It's a step up for an artist whose embrace of the past has always placed her squarely in the future. — The Dominican American singer Prince Royce covers hit songs on 'Eterno' – offering Spanglish, bachata-infused reimaginations of tracks like 'Killing Me Softly' as made famous by Roberta Flack, the Beatles' 'Yesterday,' Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help Falling In Love,' The Temptations' 'My Girl' and more. — Music Writer Maria Sherman New television to stream from May 12-18 — With shows like 'The Kardashians,' 'Vanderpump Villa' and 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' Hulu is building a roster of reality TV that's quite Bravo-esq. 'Mormon Wives' was a surprise hit when it debuted last year. It's back for a second season on Thursday. The show follows the drama among a group of Mormon women living in the Salt Lake City area who have built a following on TikTok. They call their group of friends MomTok. — After scoring big with 'The Pitt,' Max is looking to keep the momentum going with 'Duster.' Co-created by JJ Abrams, the show stars Josh Holloway of 'Lost' as a getaway driver in the '70s who gets flipped by a rookie FBI agent, played by Rachel Hilson. Holloway has described the show as a throwback to when TV was less dark and more fun. It also has a groovy soundtrack. 'Duster' premieres Thursday. — 'The Chi,' a drama about a young Black community living in Chicago's South Side returns Friday. Critics and fans have praised its portrayal of life as a Black person growing up in a rough neighborhood faced with systematic racism, violence, incarceration, and poverty. Kyla Pratt — known for playing the daughter of Eddie Murphy's character in the 'Dr. Dolittle' films and as the voice of Penny in 'The Proud Family' — joins the cast for season seven. The Chi' streams on Paramount+ with Showtime. — We've seen Alexander Skarsgård as a tech bro on 'Succession' and an abusive husband on 'Big Little Lies.' Next, we get to see his comedic chops as a robot who gains free will in 'Murderbot' for Apple TV+. Premiering Friday, May 16, the show is based on a book series. — Stanley Tucci is once again roaming through Italy. The Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning actor eats and meets in National Geographic's new food-travel series 'Tucci in Italy,' which premieres Sunday, May 18 and streams on Disney+ and Hulu the next day. Each episode of the first season of 'Tucci in Italy' explores a different region in Italy — from Tuscany to Trentino-Alto Adige, Lombardy, Abruzzo and Lazio. CNN canceled his 'Searching for Italy' in 2022. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play week of May 12-18 — If you like your games big, noisy and unabashedly gory, id Software's groundbreaking Doom series is hard to beat. Doom: The Dark Ages, the new chapter from publisher Bethesda Softworks, takes the demon-hunting space marine — now known as the Doom Slayer — back in time, sort of. His bosses have hauled the big lug to a quasi-medieval planet that's riddled with hell portals and under siege by the most bloodthirsty monsters yet. The Slayer has his usual arsenal of spectacular weapons, including a 'saw shield' he can fling like a deadly Frisbee, and some levels let him saddle up on a cybernetic dragon. It's like a heavy metal album cover come to life, and it arrives Thursday on Xbox X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC. — Lou Kesten
