“Megalopolis”-Kritik: Coppolas herrlicher Größenwahn

Francis Ford Coppola is a man of extreme experiences and will now start another Riesen project at 85 years old, which is now the result of an unchanged Arbeitslebens. If you have the impression of “Apocalypse Now”, it is a relatively unrequited thought that in the Großstadt-Dschungel of New York you would first be entitled to a secret flight and perhaps find a little more (but that is the best of “Megalopolis” for Greenscreen).

Adam Driver went to a new New York

If this is a futuristic epic, can Coppola show so many stars that all the information about the celebrities is the length of one of the main criticisms? I have hired Adam Driver as super architect, who has developed his vision of a completely new New York vision. But the leader is a powerful mayor in the shape of Giancarlo Esposito, who holds nothing from this preconception. Exposed in the next chapter His companions (Nathalie Emmanuel) the architect then starts a similar feeling and community, their world around them, all the attachments and intrigues to pride.

New Romans with old names

It is a “Babylon New York”, the history of the world city here in the new Rome and the city that extends to the category: luxury, orgy, vollerei (zogar a Chariot racing statt), and as neo-Romanesque tragedy the figures naturally ended names , with his Beispiel Caesar Catilina (chauffeur), Cicero (esposito), Hamilton Crassus III (Jon Voight) or Fundi Romaine (Lawrence Fishburne). Before you are in the depths, however, it is possible to use some of the Frage, but Vision Coppola works with that vitality now so strong Alterswerk gestalten wollte.

Hamlet driver

The Director was himself a small town, but there is an einfallsreicher Cineast, he was a man who was at work: There is a chance that there are a number of uninterested films and films that play a role through the film history. The unedited settings consist of whether the Final Shot is a Stage Piece and that Coppola also in this design only enjoys the best of it, says himself just at the beginning, when Driver reads the famous Hamlet monologue “Being or Nothingness”. Is it a unique moment – and would Adam Driver not be as happy now as the prince experience? Other figures talk about late and werfen with seats of classical literature um sich.

Two Trump and Mussolini

Vielleicht is the man who verwirrt en fragt sich, was all he had, but kaal was deutlich, that Coppola a high-minded Soul persecutes. There is a picture of the time and the whole American history: enormous social problems, corruption, manipulative media, twelve years, which by man created, nice pop stars and natural ideas about certain persons who have no hunger for power scaffold in The politics, with the stitches and the rhetoric and the Trump-erinnert and the accusation of the Ausschreitungen and Revolten, is that everything in the chaos gets confused. The end would then be one of the experiences of Benito Mussolini.

Ode to Art

The film that contains a film of a high level, is “Megalopolis” an Ode (and the title of a “Fable”) and the art and the creative man, who sees the compromize of his disease phenomenon, a true reality that he wanders. The constructive fantasy-tatsächlich of Unglaubliches zu leisten can, in Caesar more than deutlich: The architect is confused about magical faculties, can bring the time to a standstill after believing and how a wonder material inherited. The time that one of the things occurred, is a fact, that these themes in the bloom of 138 minutes were unused could be.

Zum Glück also led Coppola under Megalomanie – zu Deutsch: Größenwahn -, the truth is that this is a project that is better than anything else. Ergebnis gives its due: In Glauben’s film an appeal is made to a hinterlässt with “Megalopolis” as spezielles and its self-willed – Vermächtnis und de Menschheit (and a Chinese).
