Take to InstagramCoppola indicated ironically, it was an “honor” to receive the prize for the worst director, before hitting the industry for being “terrified” of taking risks.

“I am delighted to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for @megalopolisphilm, and for the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, the worst script and the worst image at a time when they so few have the courage to go against the predominant trends of contemporary movements!” The director began the publication.

“In this wreck of a world today, where art receives scores as if it were a professional struggle, I chose not to follow the rules without detention established by an industry so terrified of risk that, despite the huge group of young talents at their disposal, you may not create images that are relevant and living 50 years from now on.”

He added: “What honor to be with a great and brave filmmaker like Jacques Tati, who completely impoverished to make one of the most beloved failures of the cinema, the game time! My sincere thanks to all my brilliant colleagues who joined me to do our work of art, megalopolis, and we remember that the box office is only money, and how war, stupidity and politics do not have a true place in our future. “

Megalopolis He was universally torn by critics and mainly failed at the box office, winning only $ 12 million worldwide.

The film stars Adam Driver as César Catilina, an architect genius with the power to control the time.

In two -star review, NMELou Thomas wrote: “On paper, this may sound like a slightly ditching science fiction version of a Noir movie, but Megalopolis must be seen to be believing. Dialogue and acting intensify, biased and strange, leaving fascinating philosophical arguments to meaningless rhymes and not joking. The Musejo of the styles does not always make sense and sometimes it is difficult to follow. The images, similarly, are often incredible and sometimes ridiculous. “
