On February 28, 9 TIC members & guests visited the movie The Brutalist in Cinecitta. The movie tells the story of an architect who belongs to the so called Brutalism style school (massive, intimidating, mostly raw concrete), that was popular during 3-4 decades after World War 2. (see an exemplary picture)

The Hungarian Jewish architect, Lásló Tóth, flees from Nazism to the USA (environment Philadelphia) without his wife, who follows him later.
