"Guy Pearce Discusses Van Buren's Outcome in 'The Brutalist'"
With the Oscars just around the corner, the buzz surrounding the anticipated winners is palpable. According to Variety, "The Brutalist" and "Conclave" are tiptoeing towards taking home the most prestigious statuettes this Sunday night.1
Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, and Felicity Jones are all up for awards for their exceptional performances in the historical epic. The intriguing three-and-a-half-hour-long film spotlights an intense scene in its second part titled "The Hard Core of Beauty." In this scene, Felicity Jones' character, Erzsébet, confronts Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) about his rape of her husband, László.1
The tense confrontation escalates rapidly, taking a violent turn in front of Van Buren's family and friends during a dinner. The intensifying event culminates in Harry (Joe Alwyn) launching a brutal attack on Erzsébet, while his father gets swept away without a trace. The spectators are left bewildered, as the film fails to provide any answers to the question of Harrison's fate.1

When asked about his theories regarding Harrison's disappearance, Pearce admitted that Van Buren's fading into nothingness was a powerful, thought-provoking concept. He explained that having a fixed theory would undermine the impact of the character's evaporation from the scene.1
Pearce also shared some behind-the-scenes secrets about the filming of the scene where Harry attacks Erzsébet. He revealed that to maintain the illusion of Van Buren's disappearance, he had to hide behind a chest of drawers during filming, hoping that the director couldn't spot him.1
