News summary

Francis Ford Coppola's ambitious film 'Megalopolis' premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where it received mixed reactions, being described as both a 'monumental work of art' and 'disjointed' by critics. The film, which stars Adam Driver and Shia LaBeouf, explores themes of utopian aspirations amid political drama in a reimagined New York City, reflecting Coppola's vision of hope. The initial trailer faced controversy for using fabricated critic quotes, leading to a retraction and release of a new version. While some praised the film's artistry, others expressed disappointment, noting its erratic storytelling and lack of coherence. Coppola invested $100 million of his own money into the project, which opens in theaters on September 27. The film's reception suggests it may struggle to find a definitive audience amid its polarized reviews.
