Details of ‘Megalopolis

What is it about?

The plot, set in an alternative version of New York called “New Rome,” addresses themes of politics and love. Anticipation is high, and the film has generated considerable interest since its inaugural screening in Los Angeles last year.

Although the full story has yet to be fully revealed, much of the story is expected to focus on an architect whose vision of a utopian city is pitted against that of a corrupt mayor who prefers to maintain the status quo rather than adopt ideas. progressives.

Coppola intends to use this narrative to draw contemporary society’s attention to issues such as environmental degradation, poor urban planning, and inequality.

He argues that the same problems that led to the collapse of the Roman Empire could easily be repeated if modern society is not aware of the challenges of the current times.
