Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" (Who /movie Chris Evangelist considered it "great, beautiful chaos" in his review) was alternately the most fascinating and frustrating film from 2024. Cinefiles who moved away for a last masterpiece of a great swing by Maestro, who gave us the "godfather", "conversation" and "Apocalypse now" were Mostly Sincerely confused by Coppola's science fiction; There were real believers there, but the general consensus was that his vision of an empire in declining was intellectually vague. On the one hand, it was God's giving of EP, so stuffed with ideas that you cannot break it for one view; Unfortunately, it was difficult to work for enthusiasm to dive, as the film lacked a lavish swing of those mentioned masterpieces.

Of course, Coppola is too big director and "Megalopolis" is too ambitious to leave it as one and experience. A movie that this can hardly open to subsequent reviews. What felt like misrepresenting stories or slap editing could be a coherent now that you have a lying on the widespread, richly imagined country of the director. Or it can only be an interesting failure.

I am not the only one who feels like I owe it to Coppola's "Megalopolis", the last round, nor, apparently, whether I am the only one I continue to delay. Recently, Actor Aredar Gilman (Brilliant as Sam in the "Kingdom of Munriz") while reacting to the tweet, complaining of a lack of physical media for "Megalopolis", he said he only assumed the film was "renting". So too, aredar! After all, I wrote the article /movie last year informing our readers How could they rent a "megalopolis" at home.

Shockingly, you can no longer rent a "megalopolis" from Strimmer in the United States, nor can you buy publication of physical media in Region 1. Wine Coppola!

Megalopolis seemed somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 130 million, and most of that money came from Coppola, selling their wineries in Sonoma County. His movie is by what he wants. And what makes it happy at this time is the theater exhibition.

Unfortunately for Coppola, Megalopolis earned a $ 14.4 million coat all over the world. Not trying to do this: his self -financed work is all the time. But Coppola was here before. 47 years ago, he gambled the future of his study of the musical "One of the Heart" musical and suffered one of the most unpleasant creative and financial failures in the history of images. DVD for 2003 since 2003 "One of the Heart" faster critical reviewAnd he again referred to the film last year on "One Heart: Repress".

So why doesn't Coppola do with "Megalopolis?"

Now, he takes "Megalopolis" on tour. The film is currently a central part of the retrospective of Henry Ford Theater in Detroit. You can raise the web site at the scene for Showtimes and I personally can guarantee the quality of Ford's experience; It is a great, beautiful theater that gives a flawless presentation.

While I understand Coppola's desire to exclude exclusively "megalopolis" theater in the United States, it is strange that his grief for the big screen experience obviously falls apart after you cross the Atlantic. If you own a 4K player without a region (and, before our unpredictable tariff absurdity, you can get a sure for reasonable price), you can currently order Physical copy Done for the European market. This issue includes a Coppola -specific comment, so the director was included to some extent with this disk.

When Megalopolis was briefly available to rent larger platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV last November, it cost $ 19.99 without the option of digital ownership. I shake my brain trying to understand what Coppola's next logical move with a film that was unusually rejected by the movie will be. In the end, these are his money. I just want him to make the film available on his terms, though the one that allows all the reasonable, accessible access to a late career job by one of the greatest directors of all time. Megalopolis will never get wider acceptance if it is difficult to see.
