Biography
Brady Corbet is an American filmmaker and former actor born on August 17, 1988. He spent his early career in supporting roles—Thirteen (2003), Mysterious Skin (2004), Funny Games (2007), Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011), Melancholia (2011), Clouds of Sils Maria (2014)—and television, including 24 and Olive Kitteridge. In 2014, he stepped away from acting to focus on directing, partnering with Mona Fastvold.
His directorial debut, The Childhood of a Leader (2015), established him as a serious filmmaking voice. He co-wrote and directed the musical drama Vox Lux in 2018, further refining his distinctive visual and narrative style. The Brutalist (2024), his period epic, became his breakthrough: it earned the Silver Lion at Venice, a BAFTA for Best Director, a Golden Globe for Best Director, and three Academy Award nominations—Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay.
As a screenwriter and filmmaker, Corbet works in precise, ambitious narratives that blend character depth with formal experimentation. Born under the Leo sign, his creative drive reflects the fixed-fire intensity typical of the constellation; his life-path number 6 suggests a focus on responsibility and craftsmanship in artistic vision [F1, enrichments]. His American identity grounds his aesthetic in mid-20th-century cultural reference points, particularly in The Brutalist's scope and scale.
