FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA’S MEGALOPOLIS
We’re excited to show you Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s highly anticipated and already divisive passion project. Critics call it both visionary and audacious, with some praising its epic scope and others noting its unconventional narrative choices. In true Coppola fashion, the film challenges traditional storytelling, blending ambitious visuals with a provocative examination of utopia, society, and power. Join us to witness a movie that’s already sparking intense debate and will surely be one of the year’s most talked-about cinematic experiences.
Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
