In the new look at the film, Brody's character arrives in America and greets a cousin who informs him his wife Erzsébet has also survived the war.

Next, the trailer shows Brody's Toth being discovered for his architectural talents.

\"Tell me why is an accomplished foreign architect shoveling coal here in Philadelphia,\" asks Guy Pearce's character, a businessman, of Toth, who says \"I'm afraid it is not so simple.\"

In the trailer, Toth describes the longevity of his work in Europe during World War II. \"There was a war on, and yet many of the sites of my projects had survived,\" he said.

The trailer also depicts the discrimination faced by Jewish immigrants at the time.

\"Your English is impressive. Perhaps you can help your husband sound less like he shines shoes for a wage,\" Pearce tells Felicity Jones, who plays Erzsébet.

The trailer climaxes as Toth vocalizes in frustration, \"They do not want us here.\"

\"The Brutalist\" recently earned several Golden Globe nominations, including best motion picture (drama) and best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for Brody.
