Which it would be if it didn’t play fast and loose with the inspiration. The architect it is based on (and his other European peers) came over before the war and led successful careers. The Brutalist has added plenty of sex, drugs and drama to the mix, which has caused those more knowledgeable about the history of modern architecture to complain. Equally, I am sure plenty of archaeologists complain about Indiana Jones (and quite rightly about 4) but that’s not the point (although I know plenty who love it, one or two to the point it’s a bit of an obsession).
