A 40-year passion project brought to life with over $120 million of Francis Ford Coppola’s own money, giving him complete creative control, and a cinematic spectacle that demands to be seen on the big screen, this ambitious sci-fi epic, deeply inspired by the Roman Empire, not to mention The Fountainhead, Shakespeare, and Dickens, tells the story of New Rome, a futuristic city plagued by corruption.

Adam Driver stars as an architect striving to build a utopian society, alongside a stacked cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Dustin Hoffman.

“After a thirteen-year absence, a great American director returns with an ambitious vision of a world in need of renewal.” – New Yorker

“He’s done it again, and perhaps exceeded himself. Megalopolis might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single minute of it.” – Vulture

“Francis Ford Coppola’s wild and delirious fever dream inspires new hope for the future of movies.” – Indiewire

The film concentrates on one of the low moments of companies history, 1957. Enzo (Adam Driver) has run the company to the verge of insolvency due to excess spending on the race team. The sad death of his son Dino the year before has had dire consequences on his marriage to Laura (Penélope Cruz) as did his affair with Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley).

Driver deaths within his team were an all too common occurrence during this timeframe and Enzo’s detachment from the fate of his drivers is only given a single line reason. This misses an important component of the man’s physiological make up and goes someway to solidifying the questions you have about the film’s direction

Driver looks the part of Il Commendatore but it’s odd seeing him without his customary flowing locks. There are so many creative choices that taken have hindered the proceedings and let us not even mention the appallingly bad CGI. There are many fascinating stories that feature the main man Ferrari at the core, it’s unfortunate they chose to concentrate on this one so tightly.

Having caught a documentary before seeing the film on the real-life story that underlines this tale, it only hints at the depravity and manipulation that took place. Everyone has an agenda and they are all completely self-serving. The acting is also gloriously overstated and perfectly suits this fable of overindulgence. Lady Gaga is particularly adaptable at this excess.

There is entertainment to be had in several ways. It’s a lot of fun to catch the scenes that mirror some of the actor’s major meme moments, like Al Pacino’s famous Fredo declaration. Keeping the score of the actors dropping the faux accents is also very amusing. I’m looking at you AP. The ridiculousness of this level of entitlement pales in comparison to the actual reality of the super-rich.

Great art House Of Gucci is not but very entertaining it is and who doesn’t need an indulgent guilty pleasure right about now. On and by the way, those lost decades are calling and they want their fashion and hairstyles back.

Matt Damon is Sir Jean de Carrouges, a knight who marries Marguerite (Jodie Comer) to shore up his flagging finances. She soon bears witness to being sexually assaulted by Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) and sets into motion a conflict between the two former friends that ends in a duel with deadly consequences.

Splitting the film into three distinct chapters allow you the viewer to make up your own mind about the events that have occurred and highlights how male and female perspective can sway opinion. It also shows how hard the times were for women in the fourteenth century. Director Ridley Scott doesn’t hold back with the brutality and the final fight scene is very graphic in its savagery.

Male pride is shown to be the toxic entity that it is while the harshness shown towards women at that time is also engrained in the storytelling. The film feels like it’s from another time with its expansive sets and elaborate scenarios. After experiencing more than a few smaller and more personal films that are filling the cinemas at the moment, it’s great to have a big bold tale blazing from the silver screen.
