Megadoc

Oscar® Nominated Screenwriter, Filmmaker and Megalopolis 2nd Unit Director, Roman Coppola, in conversation with G. Allen Johnson after the Monday, 9/22 show!

Critic’s Pick, “A diverting, at times agog behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Megalopolis.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times

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.

Directed by Mike Figgis. With Francis Ford Coppola, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Roman Coppola, Dustin Hoffman, Fred Roos, Sam Wasson & Adam Driver.
