Megalopolis
classified 18 (CTBA)Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola.
The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare.
Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
After causing a scene at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Coppola's latest bold vision deserves to be seen to be believed.
