Megalopolis
Francis Ford Coppola's ambitious, divisive passion project, not on streaming or physical media in North America, only available to watch in cinemas. Presented by Grand Illusion.
The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis’s portrait of Coppola’s creative process – weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn’t a record of a production on the brink, it’s a personal memoir unfolding in real time.
