MegaDoc plot
Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola has been trying for decades to realize his self-funded passion project, Megalopolis. His creative process is interspersed with archive footage, cast interviews, and an expanded account of Roman history, political allegory, and Coppola's own unique vision from which he drew his inspiration. The documentary isn't a mere account of a production on the verge of collapse; it's the personal memoirs of a legendary filmmaker.

An interesting documentary about the making of the mega-flop Megalopolis, which to this day has not recouped even $15 million on a budget of $120 million. Francis Coppola, who paid for everything out of his own pocket, seems to have been running around like a headless chicken from day one, surrounded by an impressive cast that doesn't seem to know what kind of movie they are starring in. After watching the film, I still don't know either. Director Mike Figgis isn't overly critical of the madness he films and misses a few opportunities here and there, but overall, this is an entertaining documentary about one of the strangest and most incomprehensible megalomaniacal projects ever to get off the ground.
