Cesar Catilina discovered a new chemical element that grants him superpowers. With its help, he aims to reshape the city of "New Rome" and the power relations between the classes. The local mayor, who prefers the conservatism of concrete and steel, has other ideas. The altercation engulfs their immediate surroundings into a conflict that has ideological, economic, emotional, and romantic dimensions. Some critics showed no mercy for the film, but Coppola is a virtuous filmmaker who has the power to form images and moments that keep the eye and the heart captivated. Megalopolis takes no prisoners deals with sublime ideas and translates them into a charged drama that tests the power of an artist to present an innovative vision that questions reality.
