Between them is Julia Cicero, with her loyalties torn between her father and her lover

Chronology

The city of New Rome is faced with the duel between Caesar Catiline, a brilliant artist who is an advocate of a utopian future, and greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script in the early 1980s, but the film was put on the back burner partly due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after shooting 30 hours of second unit footage and holding a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped after the 9/11 attacks, because a scene in the script (page 166) “predicted” the attacks.

It’s just the same footage flipped and slightly tilted

Coppola completely dropped out of the project in 2007 and didn’t start developing it again until 2019. The security video of Cicero entering Ceasars office is supposed to be two different cameras, as indicated by the small text in the top left corner.

The cinematography was a spectacle for sure

The “Ultimate IMAX Experience” version of the film features a live actor asking questions during the filmed press conference. Referenced on The John Campea Show: Adam Driver to lead Francis Ford Coppola’s new film Megalopolis (2022).

My favorite part of the film was definitely the Virgin Pledge sequence

However, the special effects were a great complement to the gunshot sequences or cringe-inducing to watch. I enjoyed the dreamy aesthetic of the film, but the dialogue was either cartoonish and hard to follow or seemed like it served no purpose to the plot or characters. It also did nothing for the story, however, the song was really good and the visual delivery was pleasing to the eye.

I’m embarrassed that I liked it

Overall, this film is definitely not for most people. It’s a terrible film that I enjoyed for the quirky performances that made me laugh a lot. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
