Francis Ford Coppola bemoans lack of prep time on ‘Megalopolis’: “I rehearsed with the understudy”


It premiered at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year

The film stars Adam Driver as Cesar Catilina, an architect-scientist who wants to improve a fictional version of New York City called New Rome. In a two-star review, NME wrote: “The trouble is – and maybe this was also part of the point, somehow – the whole piece is so uneven, that at times it’s akin to watching a toddler being given free rein as an interior decorator. Whether Megalopolis is a critical or commercial success remains to be seen but it’s strange enough to surely have a long life as a cult film.”
