Director Brady Corbet and cinematographer Lol Crawley say they can’t take credit for their favorite shots in The Brutalist .

The film's cinematography was greatly informed by Judy Becker ’s production design, honoring Brutalist architecture.

Corbet: "We get this quality of real majesty, but where it still feels sort of like an artifact.”.

The film was shot using a wet plate color process from the beginning of the 20th century .

The wet plate process is what gives it this antiquated look, but in a way that, at least to my eye, doesn't feel fake.

Corbet: Carrara is among the most extraordinary places I’ve ever been on the planet.

The film is so much about a character trying to possess that which cannot or should not be possessed.

If we had been on a regular 35mm camera, we would not have been able to capture this entryway from floor to ceiling in the way that we were able to on that format.

The film was shot on a 435 camera into service mode, and the aperture never closes.
