The Cannes Film Festival opens today.  One of the most anticipated films on this year’s program is Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, a long-time passion project from Coppola that the studios apparently judged to be unsellable.

I have to admit that, from what I heard about the film, I was a bit skeptical about it.  But, earlier today, I saw the trailer and I’ll just say that it won me over.  The visuals, the humor, the fact that Coppola seems to be aware that his film is vision is a bit over the top, all of them fill me with a new-found hope for this film.

Here’s the trailer for Megalopolis!
