Megalopolis
Movie • 2024
ReportSynopsis
Genius artist Cesar Catilina seeks to leap the City of New Rome into a utopian, idealistic future, while his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.

There is one scene when Adam Driver is being beat up and he spits out blood right at the camera twice, this might be triggering for some especially as he is shown to be very drunk beforehand. I was quite anxious about whether he was going to v* as there are several moments where it really seems like it but he doesn't. The scene I'm referring to is during the circus right after the virgin's song is interrupted.

Kind of, but only if you see the “Ultimate IMAX Experience” version where there’s an interactive bit where someone comes into the screening to ask Adam Driver’s character a question and he responds to them. In regular screenings and VOD, the question is instead asked by someone off-screen

Immigrants are referred to as “mongrels” by one character, but he’s quickly scalded for it, although the person who gives out to him does so not to reprimand him for his bigotry but for not seeing the political advantage of appealing to this group of people

Archival footage of N**i Germany, including Hitler, and another scene features a tree stump carved into the shape of a swastika. Antisemitism is not promoted by the film and these images are used damningly

Rumours speculate that a man and his sister are sexually involved, but it’s never confirmed to be true and is a commentary on the rumour mill of the tabloid press. However, later a man begins a sexual relationship with his step-aunt who is using him from her own advantage. There’s a sex scene where he keeps mentioning that she’s his aunt throughout

Lots of "sex-y" scenes during the whole movie. Not a lot of full nudity in them, but they get pretty explicit in other aspects. Mild moaning. Off the top of my head, the most explicit ones involve Wow (one early on, the other one near the end).

A lot of people lose their homes due to the main character demolishing their buildings to build his dream vision. Be warned this doesn't really resolve and the film is pretty disdainful off homeless people, showing them as a mindless rabble
