Between them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalties are divided between her father and her lover

Scenario

The city of Nova Roma is pitted against the backdrop of a showdown between César Catilina, a great artist who advocates a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklin Cicero. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved in part due to financial debt. Pre-production finally began in 2001, with 30 hours of second unit footage and a table read featuring Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco, and Kevin Spacey. The project was shelved after the September 11 attacks because a scene in the script (page 166) “predicted” the attacks.

It’s the same footage reversed and tilted a bit

Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007, and only started working on it again in 2019. The security footage of Cicero entering Caesars’ office must be from two different cameras, as the small text in the upper left corner indicates.

But what a nightmare; or perhaps a fever dream would be more accurate

There’s no doubt that the actual set of ideas that make up Francis Ford Coppola’s “masterpiece” are incredibly unique and interesting. The problem is the implementation of those ideas and the dialogue that connects them. I’m obsessed with the idea of ​​New Rome and all those quasi-Roman characters conspiring against each other like Shakespeare in Game of Thrones. But after hearing Adam Driver’s quote from Hamlet and immediately saying “in the clurrrrb” and Jon Voight saying “horny” is simply unforgivable.

The amount of talent wasted on what should be one of the most beautiful and visually stunning settings is irreverently baffling

I can understand the plot of Megapolis, but I can’t even fathom why any of the characters do what they say or do. With all that said, I’ll probably be going through more Megapolis rewatches to make sure the experience was as frustrating as it was.
