Daniel Blumberg - The World To Come (Original Soundtrack) - VINYL LP

The Brutalist (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, and shot in the glorious, vintage VistaVision , Brady Corbet's The Brutalist stands as a monumental achievement in filmmaking.
