MegalopolisFrancis Ford Coppola Long -awaited dream projectcame and came from theaters last year. Usually, after that, a film appeared on demand or for streaming, but this was not the case here. What was going on with Megalopolis? Now we know.

Released last year, Megalopolis is the result of decades of planning and anticipation of the legendary director of The godfather, apocalypse now, And The conversation. It cost more than $ 100 million and was paid almost exclusively by Coppola himself, but he bombed the box office, totaling just over $ 14 million. Nevertheless, the huge ambition of the film and beyond the performances, themes and visuals of the film gave it the beginnings of classical cult status. The physical versions of the film were published but nothing beyond that.

Adam Driver plays in the film as a visionary architect who wants to push his city in the future, only to meet a mayor with a hard nose, played by Giancarlo Esposito. Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne and Shia Labeouf all mock with Aubrey Plaza as a character named Wow Platinum.
