I'm well aware of it. I think that Megalopolis has been reviewed for its publicity rather than for what's actually on screen. That the story of Francis Ford Coppola spending $120 million of his own money and, above all, the greatest Hollywood sin of all, not caring whether he gets it back, has cost that film significantly in reputation.

The winner is Adam Driver for Megalopolis. Adam Driver is the actor of his generation. He's almost like John Wayne or Cary Grant. He is... inevitably, always himself. And that, to me, is an enormous virtue, especially in a movie like Megalopolis, where he's playing such an extravagantly composite character, essentially a Leonardo da Vinci of urbanism.
