Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For over 40 years, acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola has attempted to get his longtime project off the ground. After countless delays, Megalopolis premiered at 2024's Cannes Film Festival. The film is an experimental fever dream about a dying faith in humanity and the fascination with building a utopian tomorrow.
Pros Cons Adam Driver plays Cesar Catalina, an architect with a vision to transform a declining city into a sustainable utopia. With his power to control time, his rebuilding plan maps out an idealistic new future. The corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero , who desires to maintain the current state of affairs, stands in his way. Even Catalina’s ill-willed cousin Clodio Pulcher seeks to gain power from his father, Hamilton Crassus III , to take over the city.
It's an orderly, boisterous experience that intentionally heightens all the senses to ensure we feel the magnitude of its stunning world. Megalopolis contains a surplus of references and influences to ancient Roman times and its empire's fall. The allegories laid out mask an even more revealing infrastructure about humanity when it comes to lust for power, wealth, and influence. Many people are losing faith in each other, in the American dream, and in humanity as a whole. And even if given time, it seems like things are getting worse. Time, after all, is something we've always been taught to appreciate as it flies by.
