The Post-Liberal Politics of 'Megalopolis'

The film Megalopolis is already the stuff of cinema legend. The 40+ year passion project of Godfather and Apocalypse Now director Francis Ford Coppola, no studio wanted to give the movie financing. Coppola sold part of his winery to make it with his own money and had to pay Lionsgate’s marketing costs before they would distribute it in theaters. The result was both a critical and commercial flop, with many critics and fans calling it an utter disaster of a movie.
