Between them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalties are divided between her father and her lover
Tale
The city of New Rome is faced with a duel between Cesar Catiline, a brilliant artist who advocates a utopian future, and greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script in the early 1980s, but work on the film was halted in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001, after 30 hours of second-unit footage and table readings with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco, and Kevin Spacey. But the project was abandoned after the September 11 attacks because a scene in the script (p.
166) “predicted” the attacks
Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007 and didn’t begin developing it again until 2019. There are numerous moments throughout the film where hand movements jump between shots.

The cinematography was certainly a spectacle

However, the special effects were either a strong complement to the shooting sequences or embarrassing. I liked the dreamy aesthetic of the films, but the dialogue was either cartoonish or didn’t feel like it fit the plot/characters well.
I’m ashamed that I liked it
My favorite part of the movie was definitely the Virgin Pledge sequence. It didn’t really affect the story either, but the song was really good and the visuals were nice to look at. Overall, the movie is definitely not for most people. It’s a terrible movie that I loved for its weird characters that gave me a good laugh.
