An Earnest Attempt to Explain Everything That Happens in Megalopolis
Briefly

The film Megalopolis is not a traditional narrative structure; it embraces a free-spirited cadence where characters often quote Shakespeare or Marcus Aurelius, reflecting a deeper philosophical dialogue.
Coppola’s film blends elements of futurism and allegory, with montages that serve as mini-lectures and place-setting that illustrate his views on humanity's current trajectory.
The unpredictable nature of Megalopolis mirrors the rhythm of conversations with older individuals, capturing a complex and multifaceted cinematic experience that is both challenging and rewarding.
Cesar Catilina, played by Adam Driver, challenges conventional superhero narratives, with the film eschewing origin stories in favor of exploring broader thematic questions.
