A project carried out by the director for over 40 years, the film "Megalopolis" is finally revealed in first images, before its screening at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Francis Ford Coppola has been thinking &agrave for over 40 years his next film, an ambitious fable with hints of Roman tragedies, Megalopolis. After applying the brakes to the project after the attacks of September 11, the project finally resumed in recent years. And the wait soon comes to an end ; its end, since the director of Godfather and'Apocalypse Now will present this new feature film at the Cannes Film Festival, from May 14 to 25, 2024. The 85-year-old filmmaker is also in comp' eacute;tition for the Palme d'or and could win the third of his career.

It must be said that Megalopolis is a particularly ambitious project resembling an ancient Roman tragedy.  Firstly because of its long gestation, but also because of its plot which unfolds throughout the years. rolls in an imaginary world close to ours. While the city of "New Rome" must change, two visions oppose each other: that of César Catilina, a genius artist capable of stopping time, and the conservative mayor Franklyn Cicero.
