Megalópolis
Vaya por delante mis respetos para un director que se ha jugado su propio dinero, para sacar adelante un proyecto que nadie quería financiarle. Dicho esto y tras haber visto la peli... entiendo perfectamente que nadie quisiera financiársela, ¡menuda ida de olla!
Si alguien ha entendido la película, mi más sincera enhorabuena, pues aquí un servidor no ha entendido ni papa. No sólo no he entendido la historia, sino que tampoco he comprendido el comportamiento de los personajes, ¡no he entendido nada!
El reparto cuenta con buenos intérpretes, pero no sé si es que ellos tampoco han entendido nada, el caso es que su trabajo es a cada cuál más horrible. En este sentido, mi pódium de actuaciones vomitivas sería el siguiente:
3.- Shia LaBeouf
2.- Adam Driver
1.- Jon Voight
Ignoro si será o no verdad, pero se cuenta que Coppola consumía marihuana en el set; lo que lo explicaría todo. Del mismo modo que todos conocemos aquello de "si bebes no conduzcas", a partir de ahora habrá que crear su equivalente cinematográfico: "si te drogas, no escribas, dirijas y produzcas películas".
El castañazo que se ha dado en la taquilla, ha sido de esos que perdurarán en la memoria. Su presupuesto osciló entre 120 y 136 millones y globalmente tan sólo ingresó 14,3.
Nota: 0/10
We love a defining cultural moment @tankmagazine, so this past week we hosted the debut of filmmaker Mike Figgis’ documentary Megadoc. The film which documents the making-of Francis Ford Coppola’s $170 million flop looks to cut through the headlines to reveal something more intimate: a portrait of the artist at the centre of the storm.
Contrary to what the media reports have suggested, the image of Coppola that emerges is less his generation’s greatest filmmaker lost to delusion than a fiercely committed artist chasing a singular vision, at admittedly hilarious expense and extravagance. Shot on digital video with a team of two, @figgismike film provides a fascinating, fly-on-the-wall view into the artist’s process. The documentary closed to rapturous applause, a level of positive consensus the original Megalopolis certainly evaded. I sincerely hope it gets a release one day, but so glad we could gather friends to witness Mike’s sensitive triumph. Please watch the insightful 30 min Q&A between Mike and Gareth Evans over on tank.tv now too!
