«Ã‚ Megalopolis » : premières images vertigineuses du nouveau film de Francis Ford Coppola

Enfin ! Quelques jours après l’annonce de sa sélection en compétition au prochain Festival de Cannes, Megalopolis, le nouveau film de Francis Ford Coppola dévoile ses premiers plans à travers un teaser d’un peu plus de deux minutes, concentré autour d’une scène avec son personnage principal incarné par Adam Driver.

Conformément aux informations exclusives révélées par Le Point, le 23 avril, c’est la société Le Pacte qui se chargera de la distribution prochaine en France de ce blockbuster de 130 millions de dollars autofinancé par Coppola lui-même, sans l’aide du moindre studio hollywoodien.

Le Pacte a détaillé le synopsis du film ce samedi 4 mai : « Megalopolis est une épopée romaine dans une Amérique moderne imaginaire en pleine décadence. La ville de New Rome doit absolument changer, ce qui crée un conflit majeur entre César Catilina, artiste de génie ayant le pouvoir d’arrêter le temps, et le maire archi-conservateur Franklyn Cicero. Le premier rêve d’un avenir utopique idéal alors que le second reste très attaché à un statu quo régressif protecteur de la cupidité, des privilèges et des milices privées. La fille du maire et jet-setteuse Julia Cicero, amoureuse de César Catilina, est tiraillée entre les deux hommes et devra découvrir ce qui lui semble le meilleur pour l’avenir de l’humanité. »

Projet dantesque de plus de quarante ans

On découvre, dans ce résumé, que cette « épopée romaine » touche donc aussi au fantastique, à travers les « superpouvoirs » de l’architecte utopiste César Catilina joué par Adam Driver. Il n’est par ailleurs pas fait mention d’un contexte postapocalyptique ou futuriste, lequel n’apparaît pas non plus dans ces premiers plans ? le récit nous plongera donc plutôt dans « une Amérique moderne imaginaire ».

Le casting, lui, reste inchangé. Hormis Adam Driver, l’affiche annonce les présences à l’écran, dans les rôles principaux, de Giancarlo Esposito (alias Franklyn Cicero), Nathalie Emmanuel (interprète de Julia Cicero) ainsi que Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, Grave Vanderwaal, Kathryn Hunter et Dustin Hoffman.

Projet dantesque aux racines remontant à plus de quarante ans dans le c?ur de Coppola, qui a dû renoncer à plusieurs reprises à sa mise en chantier au fil des décennies, Megalopolis sera projeté en avant-première mondiale au Festival de Cannes le 17 mai prochain. L’attente vient de monter subitement de plusieurs crans?
