Chronology

When visionary architect László Toth and his wife Erzsébet flee post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America, their lives are forever changed by a mysterious and wealthy client. IMDb editor Arno Kazarian offers his quick thoughts on 12 films he screened at the 2024 New York Film Festival, including Anora and the dangerous and curiously erotic Misericordia.

It was shot in Budapest, Hungary, and Carrara, Italy

Referenced in Close-Up: Why Do We Need the Venice Film Festival? (2024).

Felicity Jones and Adrien Brody give better performances

There’s no way everyone is watching the same movie I am. Boring script, awkward editing, terrible pacing, and literally idiotic PowerPoint transitions.

No hamburger of a movie with nothing to say

It’s incredibly long, but there are still unresolved plot points. When it comes to architect movies this year, Megalopolis was the most entertaining, at least.

Unfortunately, I think that was too obvious

I’ll be very upset if this wins Best Picture over Anora. Felicity Jones also literally came on stage afterwards and told us that this was basically the first draft.
