“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

While it was a commercial failure on its original release, Playtime is retrospectively considered Tati's magnum opus, his most daring work, and one of the greatest films of all time.

Much love for my man Coppola here but uh...I don't think Megalopolis is going to go down in history as any of these three things. 

Shoutout to Rumble Fish!

I’ve yet to see it, but there’s something admirable about Coppola willing it into the existence. Putting up his own money from his long career to make the movie he wanted to. Many directors use the stock “I’m proud of the movie” line after making like Red One or Ghostbusters 7. Rarely does somebody put their whole self into a project at a certain scale. Few can afford to.
