**"After a thirteen-year absence, a great American director returns with an ambitious vision of a city—and a world—in need of renewal."**—Justin Chang, The New Yorker
**"Might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single batshit second of it."**—Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
**"It is exactly the movie that Coppola set out to make -- uncompromising, uniquely intellectual, unabashedly romantic, broadly satirical yet remarkably sincere about wanting not just brave new worlds but better ones."**—David Fear, Rolling Stone

A Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who 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.
