‘The Brutalist’, ‘The Room Next Door’ & ‘The Count Of Monte Cristo’ Jump Into Pre-Christmas Indie Frame – Specialty Preview
deadline.comFewer new openings but important ones for the indie world as the year soon to close welcomes the trio of Brady Corbet’s much-nominated The Brutalist with Adrien Brody, Pedro Almodovar’s first English outing The Room Next Door starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, and a new rendition of revenge thriller The Count Of Monte Cristo.
All three are starting in limited release. Aardman Animations’ latest, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, is a lighter note in a handful of theaters ahead of its Netflix debut. The Brutalist opens in four theaters in New York (Lincoln Square, Angelika) and LA (The Vista, Century City) with 70mm and Imax special engagements including Q&A’s with Corbet, co-writer Monda Fastvold and cinematographer Lol Crawley, notable for using large format VistaVision cameras in the film, which expands in January.
