A dream project that Coppola spent decades trying to realize, Megalopolis felt for many years like a defining absence in the director's career: the masterpiece he never got to make, the one that would tie everything together. And then he made it - with about $120 million of his own money, after 13 years away from the director's chair. Megalopolis came out last year, got wildly divisive reviews, and made about $10 at the box office.
