‘Megalopolis’: The 5 Most WTF Moments From Francis Ford Coppola’s Sci-Fi Epic


Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' shocked Cannes with incest, deepfake sex tapes, MAGA references and more.

The film, a $120 million epic starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito and Shia LaBeouf, was financed by Coppola himself — and has yet to secure a distributor in the United States. Regardless, the movie earned a 7-minute standing ovation from Cannes, as Coppola hugged Driver and Esposito and delivered an emotional speech dedicating the film to hope and family. Clodio (LaBeouf), and his sisters, one of which is played by Chloe Fineman, allude to having sexual relations with each other and even demonstrate some of this during their father’s wild circus-themed wedding to Wow Platinum (Aubrey Plaza).
