Francis Ford Coppola’s magnum opus will likely never recoup its $120 million price tag. Perhaps he can take comfort in his film’s thriving cult following.
“Megalopolis Is a Problematic, Massive Flop,” wrote the Dallas Observer, “You Might Just Love It Anyway.” GQ urged its readers: “Don’t look at the tweets, don’t look at Letterboxd, don’t look at Rotten Tomatoes—just go to a theater and see it for yourself.” In his review for Vanity Fair, Richard Lawson made no such plea, calling the movie “a passion project gone horribly wrong”—but he did wonder if some audiences might embrace Megalopolis on their own terms.
Cesar’s vision is met with opposition by New Rome’s by-the-book mayor, Franklyn Cicero , a dynamic further complicated by Cesar’s romantic relationship with Cicero’s daughter, Julia . There are a ton of other bizarrely-named characters doing things in the surrounding dreamscape, played by the likes of Shia LaBeouf, Laurence Fishbourne, and Dustin Hoffman, among others.
