Francis Ford Coppola is forced to admit that he is facing a prolonged professional stagnation. This is all due to the financial difficulties that arose after the premiere of the director's new film. He invested heavily in his brainchild, the film "Megalopolis," believing that it would pay off handsomely.

The director spent about 120 million dollars of his own funds on the production of the dystopian drama with the promising title “Megalopolis.” Audiences and critics eagerly awaited Coppola's new creation, but the film did not meet expectations.
The box office results speak for themselves. In the global market, the 2024 release, on which the director worked for several decades, albeit with breaks, barely scraped together 14 million. The final blow, indicating Coppola's downfall, was the Golden Raspberry Award, which he received for Worst Director.
Well, the year has clearly not been successful for the creator. But now the director must make a comeback, according to zoomboola.com. One option might be to make a low-budget film that unexpectedly receives the highest ratings from critics and audiences. Like the films we wrote about in this article.In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now... let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.
