Francis Ford Coppola's self-funded film "Megalopolis" has unveiled its first look ahead of competing at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie portrays the clash between two visions for rebuilding a declining metropolis, featuring Adam Driver as the idealist architect and Giancarlo Esposito as the corrupt mayor. The narrative, set in a modern yet mythical America, intertwines romance and political intrigue, with a significant investment of $120 million from Coppola, partially funded by selling part of his wine business.
