The 77th Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, and two of the most anticipated films, ‘Megalopolis’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ have made their premieres.
‘Megalopolis,’ directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a science fiction epic that follows an architect’s quest to rebuild New York City after a catastrophic earthquake. Critics praised the film’s stunning visuals and ambitious scope but questioned its convoluted plot and overlong runtime.
‘Furiosa,’ a prequel to the 2015 film ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ explores the backstory of the enigmatic character Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy. The film, directed by George Miller, has received more positive reviews, with critics lauding its action sequences, cinematography, and strong performances.
Both films have generated buzz at the festival, and it remains to be seen how they will fare with audiences and critics alike.
