Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman shine at the Venice Film Festival

Adrien Brody celebrates the premiere of his new movie. On the red carpet in Venice, his current partner, Georgina Chapman, the ex-wife of Harvey Weinstein, was also present.

Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman first appeared publicly as a couple in June 2021. Before that, their relationship was rumoured for months, but the pair stayed away from the spotlight. Brody previously dated well-known actress Elsa Pataky, but their relationship ended in 2009. After that, little was known about his love life. Meanwhile, Georgina Chapman was married to film producer Harvey Weinstein for 10 years, and they have two children together. In 2017, their lives changed drastically when Weinstein was accused of sexual assault, bullying, and intimidating employees. As many as 90 women came forward, revealing he had sexually harassed them.

Chapman filed for divorce shortly after the scandal involving her husband erupted. The matter was finalized after three years, in 2021. Georgina, whose career and reputation were shattered, retreated from the public eye for a long time. With Brody, she started a new chapter in her life. The couple has already posed together at events such as the Met Gala and the Oscars.

Now, the actor and designer appeared at the Venice festival, where the premiere of Brody's latest film, "The Brutalist," took place. According to "Variety," the creators were rewarded with a standing ovation lasting about 12 minutes. Journalists reported that the applause lasted so long that security had to start directing people to the exits to organize the next screening in the hall. Brody even shed a few tears, trying unsuccessfully to divert the audience's attention to the director, Brady Corbet.

"The Brutalist" is a film about a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust and decided to emigrate to the USA to pursue a career as an architect. László Tótha is observed over 40 years of his life, reflecting on wartime traumas, political persecutions, the American dream, and the hardships of emigration. "The Brutalist," written by Corbet in collaboration with Mona Fastvold, delves into themes such as creativity, Jewish identity, immigrant experiences, and the long-term impact of the past on a person's life.

László begins his American journey with an ambitious commission—redesigning a library for a wealthy magnate, Harrison Lee Van Buren, played by Guy Pearce. However, despite initial satisfaction, the project meets Van Buren's disapproval, leading to conflict and the downfall of László's dreams.

Journalists after the Venice premiere are full of praise, writing that it is one of the best roles in Brody's career.
