Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Makes Waves at Cannes Film Festival
Francis Ford Coppola's latest film, 'Megalopolis,' received a 7-minute applause at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, leaving a lasting impression. Let's delve into the details of the film and the reactions it garnered at Cannes together.
Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis is expected to make a significant impact on the cinema world this year, both with its story and the received critiques.
Megalopolis, the director's first venture into science fiction, has become a highly anticipated production since last February.
The director sold his vineyards to fund the film, personally contributing a whopping $120 million.
Judging by the figure, this film will be Coppola's biggest project to date at the age of 85.
However, despite being hailed as one of the greatest directors of all time with classics like 'The Godfather' saga and 'Apocalypse Now,' Coppola's film has divided critics.
The film features a star-studded cast including Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Aubrey Plaza.
It premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival and received a 7-minute standing ovation.
While Megalopolis garnered great acclaim at Cannes, critics' reviews are mixed.
Some find it 'ambitious,' 'beyond madness,' and 'Coppola's masterpiece,' while others find it 'superficial' and 'disjointed.'
The idea of creating a film that combines the imagery of ancient Rome with contemporary New York City has been a long-time passion for Coppola.
The director started developing Megalopolis in 1977, but delays and cancellations extended the process over the years.
Megalopolis, depicting an architect rebuilding New York City as a utopia after a catastrophic disaster, marks Coppola's first directorial attempt since Twixt (2011).
It remains to be seen if the film applauded at Cannes will resonate with audiences.
