FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA’S “MEGALOPOLIS” DIVIDES CRITICS AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

Francis Ford Coppola’s latest film, “Megalopolis,” received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. However, critics are divided, with many expressing conflicting opinions. The director, who invested $120 million of his own money into the project, stated that he has never cared about money. At a press conference, he said, “In the end, there are so many people when they die that say, ‘I wish I had done this, I wish I had done that.’ But when I die, I’m gonna say ‘I got to do this.'”

Starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, and Dustin Hoffman, “Megalopolis” has been described as a “great leap” by The New York Times’ film critic Manohla Dargis. She also acknowledged that the film may not be for everyone, as art rarely is. Deadline referred to the movie as “something of a mess,” but also recognized it as a stunning achievement. The Hollywood Reporter questioned whether it is a good movie, stating that it cannot be easily dismissed.

The film’s synopsis reveals that it revolves around an architect’s desire to rebuild New York City as a utopia after a devastating disaster. However, critics appear to be confused about the overall concept. In addition to the mixed reviews, there has been controversy surrounding Coppola’s behavior on set. Anonymous sources accused him of inappropriate behavior, including pulling women to sit on his lap and attempting to kiss topless and scantily clad female extras. Executive producer Darren Demetre denied these allegations, stating that he was never aware of any complaints of harassment or ill behavior during the project.

Despite the divided opinions and the controversy, “Megalopolis” has generated significant buzz at the festival. With its unique storyline and the involvement of renowned actors, the film has captured the attention of both critics and audiences alike.
