Megalopolis: Francis Ford Coppola’s Ambitious But Flawed Masterpiece
Francis Ford Coppola, the legendary director behind classics like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, has finally released his long-anticipated project, Megalopolis. This film, which he has been imagining for decades, is a visual masterpiece set in a futuristic version of New York, inspired by the grandeur of ancient Rome. With a stunning $120 million budget funded by Coppola himself, Megalopolis is a breathtakingly beautiful movie. However, despite its visual allure, the film ultimately falls short in terms of storytelling, performances, and coherence.
