The trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”
Acknowledging that the film already has negative press and reviews, Coppola has made a trailer that starts with negative reviews for “The Godfather.”
Of course, that movie went on to be regarded as the greatest film since “Citizen Kane.”
The reviews are from the top reviewers of the time, from Vincent Canby to John Simon to Rex Reed and more.
So maybe “Megalopolis” is better than you’ve heard?
We won’t know until we’ve seen it, but it looks like an Italian opera. There’s no discernible plot but there is that light sabre of a T square, and Adam Driver with short hair.
As a trailer, there’s something odd: I’m not digging the voice over at all. Not the right sound.
Still, looking forward to seeing this maybe a couple of times.
