It might seem too easy to observe that Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” — a 215-minute slab of a film that spans 30 years in the life of Hungarian-Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor László Tóth (Adrien Brody), who flees to America in the hopes of building a better future — has been constructed to embody the aesthetics of its title character. Shot in VistaVision and projected on 300lbs.’ worth of 70mm film stock, Corbet’s epic draws a perfectly self-evident connection between the weight of its raw material and that of the concrete monolith Tóth creates over the course of the story, and the same could be said of its minimalistic framing, its bone-deep aversion to nostalgia, and, most of all, the movie’s efforts to reveal the soul of its subject through the geometry of its design.

Jason Cohn’s Modernism, Inc.: The Eliot Noyes Design Story (produced by Camille Servan-Schreiber) takes us into the extraordinary world of an architect and industrial designer whose associates included Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Eero Saarinen, the esteemed graphic/film title designer and Oscar-winning filmmaker Saul Bass, Philip Johnson, Charles and Ray Eames. Eliot Noyes, who, among many other accomplishments, reinvented the image of Ibm and gave the world the river rock-shaped first electric typewriter, the Selectric, is called “the design conscience of mid-century American industrial giants.”

Jason Cohn’s Modernism, Inc.: The Eliot Noyes Design Story (produced by Camille Servan-Schreiber) takes us into the extraordinary world of a creator whose associates included Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Eero Saarinen, the esteemed graphic/film title designer and Oscar-winning filmmaker Saul Bass, Philip Johnson, Charles and Ray Eames.
Studying architecture at Harvard, Noyes in 1937 was disappointed in how the broader social context seemed to have been ignored by the program, in stark contrast to the Bauhaus, whose founder Walter Gropius soon had to flee Nazi Germany and arrived at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. He took Noyes under his wing, and when the young man.

Love magazine’s annual month of risqué shorts tend to follow a certain pattern. It typically starts with their usual bevy of It Girl models clad in an assortment of barely there underpinnings, gyrating their physical assets while the camera slow pans around their body, with the magazine occasionally tacking on a theme to make the whole thing feel vaguely in the holiday spirit. And clearly, the publication has found the formula for success garnering almost 20 million views on its YouTube channel over the past 8 days alone. But this season, they’ve also broken with that tradition ever so slightly,...
