Ancient Roman passions are simmering in the New York of the not-too-distant future: visionary architect Cesar Catilina has found a way to turn the metropolis into a real utopia, but corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen get in his way. The conflict over the future of the city will unfold into an epic drama—with intrigue, betrayal, murder, forbidden love and a multitude of opposing philosophical ideas.

It’s a fascinating movie and perhaps his directorial swan song; mostly, it feels like a dream about cinema itself, its past and hoped-for future.

Inspired by both the history of ancient Rome and futuristic images of the future, Francis Ford Coppola revels in creative freedom. It seems that nothing so grandiose will appear in cinema for a very long time.
