Megalopolis
- Very weird. Dialogue is strange, not just the parts that went viral. A completely mucked together ending that made no sense. But, the actors' performances were great and the art design was gorgeous (mostly) and just so very Coppola. It was the visuals, Aubery Plaza and Adam Driver that made me keep watching.
- This film is every bit as bad as you heard it was. Still, I don't regret watching it. It featured an amazing cast, and had an interesting story idea. But all of that was overshadowed by wild, unbelievable story tangents, absurd plot devices, mismatched period costumes/accesories, etc. Just an absolute mess.
- I had a 20 minutes conversation about the film with the 3 strangers that shared the theatre with me for a 9:35pm Sunday night showing and I'll always appreciate this movie for bringing us together for some entertaining and enlightening conversation. After reading a year ago about this movie's failure to secure distribution after multiple festival screenings, I thought I'd never see it, but I'm so glad I did. Its bizarre, it's big, and at time baffling. It's hit and miss, it wears its heart on its sleeve and it very much feels like a movie that the director self funded. Despite a lot of the dark events that occur throughout, it's an undeniably hopeful movie that has a lot to say about love and its ability to heal. Adam Driver loves weird projects, eh? Put this alongside Annette and Paterson and just revel in the oddity. Absolute Southland Tales vibes. This fumbles the ball a bit less though. (Not a lot less) I myself have pontificated on the parallels of the fall of Rome and some of our modern woes, so it was a joy watching some of that play out on the big screen. Very hard to give this a star rating. Very difficult.
