A city of dreams…and a dream of a city. Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic Megalopolis finally arrives at The Frida Cinema for a special tw-night event. A bold statement on power and the fate of civilization, it is not to be missed on the big screen.
In a futuristic New York known as New Rome, visionary architect Cesar Catilina dreams of building “Megalopolis,” a utopian city that redefines society’s limits. Opposing him is the corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who clings to power and profit. Between them stands Julia, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar forces her to choose between loyalty, ambition, and the fate of humanity.
Shot over decades and self-financed at a staggering scale, Megalopolis is Coppola’s personal reckoning with myth, empire, and the artist’s role in shaping—or shattering—society.
