With reviews ranging from 'a folly of gargantuan proportions' to 'the craziest thing I've ever seen,' the Thursday premiere of Francis Ford Coppola's self-financed opus 'Megalopolis' at the Cannes Film Festival had everyone talking.The wildly ambitious film was a passion project the 85-year-old director had been pondering for decades and stood as the most anticipated debut at this year's festival.
' Tim Grierson for Screen Daily called it a 'disaster' 'stymied by arbitrary plotting and numbing excess.' Kevin Maher for the Times of London wrote that it's a 'head-wrecking abomination.' Critic Jessica Kiang said 'Megalopolis' 'is a folly of such gargantuan proportions it's like observing the actual fall of Rome.'But some critics responded with admiration for the film's ambition.
