Megadoc
A film by Mike Figgis
w/ Francis Ford Coppola, Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel
Rated NR
1hr 47min
A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis. The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis' portrait of Coppola's creative process -- weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn't a record of a production on the brink, it's a personal memoir unfolding in real time.
Without a doubt, a documentary for the greatest and most enjoyable of traffic jams.

A thoroughly watchable, respectful, valuable and intimate account of a great film-maker at work – particularly rehearsing actors, a part of directing very rarely shown.
