Megalopolis is the latest of several massive self-indulgent epic passion projects from beloved directors. This trend will likely continue into the distant future as time comes for so many of our favorite filmmakers. Yet again, we see a story about a visionary artist who can save the world if the huddled masses and old-fashioned gatekeepers just listen to him. Still, I’m so glad I saw it, and I’d recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in film.
