Coppola's 'Megalopolis' pits a visionary architect against a profit-driven mayor in an ambitious yet chaotic portrayal of a utopian vision thwarted by greed.
The film opens with a grandiose statement about the American republic, likening it to Old Rome, yet the execution feels like a lecture rather than storytelling.
Despite its high-minded intentions, 'Megalopolis' struggles to engage viewers, appearing more a confounding disaster than an insightful critique of society.
With a backdrop reminiscent of 1990s New York, the film's aesthetic choice amplifies its chaotic narrative, making 'Megalopolis' feel like a dated and overdone spectacle.
