    It’s a pretty weird film but I enjoyed it. Maybe in 20 years I’ll watch it again.

      I actually enjoyed it as well and found it memorable.

      Strange and interesting.

      But, I also enjoyed my dinner with Andre.

      So… Yeah.

    Patrician architect Cesar Catilina is one of New Rome’s leading lights. Cesar wins the Nobel Prize for inventing the revolutionary building material Megalon. In addition, he can secretly stop time.

    I can’t fathom how a director can dream about telling such a generic story. Like, really? Out of all the stories you can retell or invent you chose a story of revolutionary building material and… stopping time? I might see it just out of curiosity.

    This reminds me about “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote”. He worked for decades to film it and the result was terrible. Maybe some directors are just terrible producers.

    The movie seems like a bloated mess and Coppola was fairly insufferable while promoting it but I simply don’t understand articles like this. Who is still talking about this movie? How hard could it possibly be to “be rid of” it if you aren’t actively seeking it out? This seems like a skill issue.
