Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Unveiled: A Time-Bending Cinematic Vision

The legendary director's ambitious new film explores themes of time, legacy, and human potential in a visually striking but uneven narrative.

  • Coppola's 'Megalopolis' features Adam Driver as Cesar Catilina, a visionary architect who can manipulate time.
  • The film juxtaposes Ancient Rome with modern New York, creating a unique hybrid setting called New Rome City.
  • Despite its ambitious concept, critics note the film's disjointed narrative and uneven performances.
  • Coppola financed the $120 million project himself, dedicating it to his late wife, Eleanor.
  • 'Megalopolis' aims to inspire with its message of human potential and creativity, though reactions have been mixed.
