If you can't see a better future, build one.
A controversial and uncompromising mix of political drama, philosophical science fiction, and star-crossed romance, legendary writer-director Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project focuses on the limits of genius and the fragility of empires.
In an imaged Modern America, Cesar Catilina, wracked with grief over the death of his wife, pours all his energy into his startling new invention, Megalon, a building material that is infinitely malleable and miraculously strong — and may just imbue its creator with the power to control time and space. The federal government grants him permission to demolish large parts of New Rome to make way for his colossal building project, Megalopolis, but not everyone is happy to see the end of the status quo...
Adam Driver’s visionary architect whose utopian ambitions clash with the more earth-bound demands of a modern city, is supported by an unbeatable cast that includes Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, and Dustin Hoffman. Together, they weave Coppola’s dream of a glorious future with a profound lament for a world withering under the weight of its own corruption.Megalopolis showing at: September 29, 8:00 pm
