Coppola's 'Megalopolis' is a grand cinematic attempt fueled by creativity but ends up being an ambitious mess, showcasing too many ideas unbounded by structure.
The film's ambition is evident in its Pynchon-esque character names and a star-studded cast, yet the result is chaotic improvisation without clear direction.
Despite its flaws, 'Megalopolis' remains a testament to Coppola's long-held vision, starting from a place of optimism and creative freedom, albeit lacking discipline.
The ambitious blend of ancient Rome with a modern New York narrative reveals Coppola's deep-seated artistic desires, captured through the character of Cesar Catilina.
