Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola's latest film, struggles with its execution but delivers an intriguing commentary on contemporary American issues through its modern interpretation of historical themes.
The film attempts to address significant societal dilemmas of 2024, showcasing unique artistic choices that reflect both Coppola's ambition and the disjointed creative decisions that define his later works.
Despite its flaws, Megalopolis aspires to engage with current socio-political discourse in a way that few modern films attempt, drawing parallels to historical events.
The expectation was for a revisionist exploration of the character Catiline, portraying him as a revolutionary hero opposed by conservative forces, reminiscent of literary reinterpretations like Mantel's Wolf Hall.
