Pivoting between political drama, philosophical science fiction, and star-crossed romance, legendary writer-director Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project stars Adam Driver as a visionary architect whose utopian ambitions clash with the more earth-bound demands of a modern city. Revisiting themes from earlier films such as Apocalypse Now and Tucker: The Man and His Dream while channeling Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Francis Ford Coppola weaves together dreams of a glorious future with a profound lament for a world withering under the weight of its own corruption. Elevated by an astonishing supporting cast including Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, and Dustin Hoffman, Megalopolis is the work of an uncompromising artist whose understanding of history, mastery of filmmaking, and belief in civilization’s potential remain a beacon of light.
