Adam Driver as Caesar Catalina winking in Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.
The Big Picture Well, he did it. Francis Ford Coppola made Megalopolis. After many decades, the passion project to end all passion projects has arrived. It reportedly was a mess of a production, but that was also the case for Apocalypse Now. The difference is that film will go down as one of the most significant works of cinema ever made whereas this will not.
Caesar, meanwhile, stays up top where he begins to go about making his futuristic sci-fi city. Standing in his way is Mayor Franklyn Cicero , who believes that this ambitious utopia will become a dystopia. Complicating matters is that the mayor's daughter, Julia , soon becomes part of Caesar’s life and plans.
The sole person to remain unscathed from this is Emmanuel. She manages to give some painfully shaky scenes the stability that they desperately need. A standout scene comes when she and Driver’s characters stand above the city on beams, discussing time together. The unfortunate thing is that it also marks the point where she fades into the background, going from being someone who felt like she was almost the film’s protagonist to suddenly feeling like a footnote.
