Francis Ford Coppola draws parallels between the initial reception of his new film, 'Megalopolis,' and his 1979 masterpiece, 'Apocalypse Now,' stating that both films were met with a sense of 'ambivalent confusion' due to their unconventional filmmaking approaches.
. Specifically, Coppola said that when Apocalypse Now came out, the general reaction was “ ambivalent confusion ” due to how it was made.
Coppola went on to say that for him, he’s fine with a movie not being a hit right away, and he’s perfectly happy with people just wanting to rewatch the film to learn more. Megalopolis has been Coppola’s passion project since the 1980s. The logline states, “The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius, and dangerous love.”
