A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis. The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis' portrait of Coppola's creative process -- weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn't a record of a production on the brink, it's a personal memoir unfolding in real time.

Clayton Dillard Slant Magazine Mike Figgis’s anthem of aspiration and struggle leaves no doubt about Francis Ford Coppola’s beliefs. Rated: 3/4 Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A thoroughly watchable, respectful, valuable and intimate account of a great film-maker at work – particularly rehearsing actors, a part of directing very rarely shown. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Even those who consider Megalopolis a disaster may well be enraptured by Megadoc, which offers a candid, compassionate look at the creative process itself. Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Without a doubt, a documentary for the greatest and most enjoyable of traffic jams. Sep 2, 2025 Full Review David Katz The Film Stage Watching MEGADOC, we wonder what Figgis wasn’t legally permitted to show, yet his project is key to understanding what Megalopolis is and what hamstrung it, and maybe, also, that greatness wasn’t its destiny.
