This week, we discuss two films involving Brady Corbet, the director of The Brutalist.
The first is Vox Lux (2018), a musical drama written and directed by Brady Corbet, from a story by Corbet and Mona Fastvold. It follows a pop star who rises to fame after a traumatic event, exploring the intersection of celebrity and personal history.
The second is Mysterious Skin (2004), a coming-of-age drama written, produced and directed by Gregg Araki, adapted from Scott Heim's 1995 novel of the same name. The film follows two young men on separate but interconnected journeys of self-discovery as they confront their pasts.
