The thrust of the movie is Tóth’s commission to design a public institute for industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce).
Van Buren can assist with this, and help Tóth revive his career, but their relationship and its power imbalance comes at great personal cost.
Becker designed everything by Tóth in the movie, from pieces of furniture to a library for Van Buren and his institute.
It’s also deeply subversive, in that it’s slipped inside the passion project of Van Buren, a man he comes to rightly loathe.
Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones play László and Erzsébet Tóth, Hungarian Holocaust survivors building a new life in midcentury Pennsylvania.
