I really liked it. I was fully entertained every second of the film, glued to my seat. I donβt think Iβve had this much fun in the theater in a long while.
It's different. It's offbeat. It's most definitely unconventional in it's presentation and delivery. It possesses supreme visuals. It's a Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece. For people calling this film a mess or saying it's unbalanced, it kind of is a beautiful and masterful mess. And perfectly unbalanced. It is exactly what it was meant to be. Everyone clearly isn't ready for such a film. After multiple viewings, I stand by its greatness and at the same time, I get what people mean when they refer to it as a mess. For me, that is a compliment. When I say it's a mess, I am speaking to its uniqueness and strange approach. I can't believe just how great of a motion picture the 84 year old Francis Ford Coppola has created. What a cinematic achievement. He effectively IS Cesar Catalina. He achieved the magnificent creation of Megalopolis the film just like Cesar created Megalopolis the city. Brilliant!
"Controlled mania to an extreme degree" I love that description, it's a very intriguing concept and really makes you think. I'm still waiting for Amazon to premier it, probably have to wait until it's closer to the holidays. I have a feeling this is destined to be an eventual cult classic that people either despise or love. Visit the Coppola winery if you can, the front lawn features a huge fruit tree that bears oranges and limes (or lemons), I don't remember exactly. One half is an orange tree and they grafted a different citrus tree to the other side. This seems like such a Coppola thing to do.
It's a masterpiece, fragmented, exaggeratedly theaterical, bombastic, even cartoonish to reflect back the frivolousness and banality of our dead age, with dead myths and none to replace them. Naturally, people hated it. Theyve been so conditioned by corporatist slop that they cant even recognize the boundless extent of the soullessness this film is trying to bring to light.

Yup
I would love to watch it on cinema, but in my country is not streaming anywhere...
