The city of New Rome faces a duel between Caesar Catilinus, a brilliant artist who favors a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklin Cicero. Among them is Julia Cicero with her carriage… Read all. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was abandoned in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001, with 30 hours of second unit footage shot and table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falcon and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped 9/ After 11 attacks, because the plot of the script (p. 166) “meant”; attacks. Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007 and did not start developing it again until 2019. The security video of Cicero walking into Caesar’s office has two different cameras, as the small text in the upper left corner indicates. It’s just the same material flipped and slightly skewed.

On the other hand, this movie has some interesting ideas and visuals, but some of the ideas never develop and some of the visuals just don’t look good. It’s hard to see what Coppola’s intention was with this film. He seems to have decided not to focus too much on the characters, but rather on the themes. However, some scenes suggest that the audience should understand the characters, but they just can’t. One reason is the pace of this film; it somehow manages to be fast, yet feels slow, and that might be because some scenes are boring. If we remove all illusory character development, we are left with the development of a delusional idea. Megalopolis bombards you with interesting ideas, but since there are quite a lot of them, none of them leads to a solid conclusion. As I mentioned, it’s hard to see where Coppola is going with all of this. If his intention was to go against the classic narrative structure and challenge the audience with a different kind of storytelling, it was not possible. to work either. Some scenes contain clichés and the overall structure feels like the 50s-90s. a mix of landscapes over the years. One interesting thing that the movie does a lot is plant a seed that sometimes doesn’t grow—it stays in this scene and then it’s on to the next. This method of storytelling is misleading and confusing to most audiences, and would probably work better if the technique had a solid foundation throughout the film. But it just doesn’t feel right. David Lynch once said that you can make any movie, any art, however you want, as long as it feels right. His films are weirder and harder to understand than Megalopolis, but you don’t feel cheated when you watch Lynch’s work – everything feels right, no matter how strange. Sometimes Megalopolis feels right, sometimes it doesn’t. Megalopolis is a good example of how the director’s stylistic touch is important in the appearance of the film. This movie was shot by the same person who shot The Master. Still, this movie feels like any expensive commercial made today—too flashy, too warm, too simple. I will definitely be watching this movie in the future, all jokes aside. There is something about this movie that I didn’t understand when I first watched it. All in all, it’s a little sad that this is Coppola’s last film, but I’m sure she doesn’t regret making it.
