One for the film lovers and the haters, Megadoc is a fly-on-the-wall documentary feature from Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas, Internal Affairs) made at Francis Ford Coppola’s invitation, following the chaotic shoot of his sprawling epic Megalopolis- a film 40+ years in the making, funded by around $120 million of the Apocalypse Now director's own money. As the production drags costs spiral out of control, whole departments are fired and personalities clash, but Coppola is determined that the show must go on by any means necessary.

Poor Mike Figgis has an uphill battle in Megadoc: his attempts at being unobtrusive are challenged by actors like Shia LaBeouf, who attempts to use him as a kind of therapist/video diary, and Adam Driver, who would prefer not to be filmed at all. In amongst the ongoing absurdity, including a beautifully actor-brained argument about whether movies are "real", are beautiful moments of creativity and connection. Figgis balances real-world harsh truths like a running on-screen tally of costs for catering, transport and the other machinery of making movies with a genuine admiration for a movie being made at all- despite his diva tendencies, Coppola's determination to experiment is genuinely inspiring.
