Megalopolis 2024

In a dystopian future ravaged by climate change and societal collapse, a visionary architect named Jack embarks on an ambitious project: the creation of a utopian city, Megalopolis. This city, a symbol of hope and rebirth, is designed to be a self-sufficient metropolis, free from the ills of the outside world. However, Megalopolis is not without its challenges. As construction progresses, Jack faces opposition from powerful forces who see his vision as a threat to their own interests. These forces, driven by greed and corruption, will stop at nothing to destroy Megalopolis and maintain their control over the remnants of civilization. He must confront his enemies, rally his supporters, and overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of his dream. The fate of Megalopolis, and perhaps the future of humanity itself, hangs in the balance.

Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" draws inspiration from a diverse array of sources, weaving together threads of history, philosophy, and societal critique. The film's themes echo those explored in influential works like David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs", Riane Eisler's "The Chalice and the Blade", and Hermann Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game".

The character of Cesar, a pivotal figure in the film, is inspired by the historical figure of Catiline, with a nod to Julius Caesar's potential connection. Coppola also looked to the visionary architect Robert Moses and the infamous Claus von Bülow case for inspiration.

The film's fictional building material, Megalon, is rooted in the innovative work of Neri Oxman, a renowned architect and designer who makes a cameo appearance.
