Cannes 2024: Francis Ford Coppolas self-financed perpetual venture Megalopolis will quickly have its world premiere in Cannes, and at the moment the primary correct trailer was launched.
Megalopolis participates in the principle competitors in Cannes, and can essentially be a really comeback for Francis Ford Coppola after the section which at first seemed to be a brand new spring with Youth Without Youth (2007) and Gloomy (2009) abruptly withered after the turkey Twixt (2011). Coppola has received the Palme d’Or twice earlier than, for The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now! (1979). Can he do it once more and make historical past (no director has received three)?
Megalopolis has already had closed screenings within the US and UK, and in response to stories elicited many alternative however principally optimistic – or at the least overwhelmed – reactions. Based on these critiques, one will get the impression that Coppola has actually allowed himself to experiment in a big format this time.
Today’s trailer places no damper on these expectations, to place it mildly, as a result of the movie’s expression appears to be as virtuosically executed as it’s authentic and bold. There are many pictures that stick right here. Wow!
