What’s the Best Four-Film Run by a Director?

However you shake it, the rollout for Francis Ford Coppola’s latest (final?) opus, Megalopolis, hasn’t gone as planned. Reviews are arriving with headlines like “What the hell did I just watch?”; crew members are lamenting the haphazard production; a video leaked of Coppola kissing multiple extras on set; the director ranted about wokeness during the press tour; a trailer with fake, AI-generated quotes from critics dropped before getting taken down (the internet never forgets). Only time will tell whether Megalopolis is remembered as an absolute shit show or a misunderstood work of genius, but for now, it’s shaping up to be a colossal misfire that’s projected to make as little as $5 million in its opening weekend.
