Megalopolis

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
United States
138 mins

Synopsis

Coppola has taken some big swings before (Apocalypse Now, The Godfather), but this time he’s smashed convention, expectations and style with his heady sci-fi tale about a future city beset by corruption. New Rome is a hybrid between New York and ancient Rome, complete with chariot races and togas a stone’s throw from the Chrysler Building. Driver plays an architect with the ability to pause time, but his grand vision for a more utopian society is at risk of being thwarted by ruthlessly pragmatic politicians. The actor is joined by Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf and Laurence Fishburne, and they commit fully to Coppola’s singular and operatic vision. Made on a truly grand scale, Megalopolis is one to see on the biggest screen possible.
