Megalopolis
Francis Ford Coppola's untamed magnum opus, set in the imagined city of New Rome, centers around a dramatic political conflict at the upper echelons of power. The film follows an idealistic architect, eager to reshape the city, who clashes with the mayor, a staunch defender of the capitalist status quo. At the heart of this struggle is the mayor's daughter, torn between her growing fascination with the architect’s idealism and her deep loyalty to her father.
Francis Ford Coppola
Born in Detroit in 1939, Francis Ford Coppola is one of the most important directors in American cinema, the winner of six Oscars and two Palmes d’Or in Cannes. The director of such films as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Cotton Club began his career in the 1960s, when, together with Scorsese, Bogdanovich, and Lucas, he created a movement called New Hollywood, which in the next decade changed the face of the American Dream Factory. He is the head of the Coppola film clan, which includes his daughter Sofia and granddaughter Gia, as well as nephews Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman.
