It’s hard to recall a film being greeted with more perplexity than Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. A production that has been 40 years in gestation, cost US$120 million, and failed to attract support from the major studios, it’s like no movie ever made. As the director is one of Hollywood’s all-time greats it seemed incredible that nobody would get on board - but after sitting through 138 minutes of this exhausting, incoherent pageant, the whole thing felt more confusing than ever. What was Coppola thinking? Hell, what was he
