Having promised my cinephile father to see Megalopolis again, I attended with a mix of obligation and curiosity, hoping to better understand its live participation element.
The live participation element involved a surprising theatrical moment where an audience member asked a question to Adam Driver as if in a press conference, blurring the lines between cinema and reality.
Attending the film again revealed the difficulty of engaging with its unique format; the strange scene was met with confused applause, highlighting a disconnect in the audience's expectations.
Experiencing Megalopolis in a nearly empty theater added to the awkwardness, especially when the lighting changed abruptly during the unconventional press conference scene.
