This is a art film. It is telling a story about a Roman Republic version of new york called New Rome. It is also a sci fo film about a powerful banking family and their genius son who wants to create megalopolis using sci fi powerful material. It jumps styles , is hallucinogenic , is over the top but well acted. Dialog is sometimes . unnatural quoting varius people like marcus aurelius How this got made in 2024 is due to the director paying for it probably. If you liked art films that were sometimes disjointed like italian films of the 60s or 1920s german cinema, that try to say many things and sometimes make no sense then you will like this. But if you want a straight forward film , even though this does at least give you a real ending, you may freak out and hate it. I knew what it was so I found it like strange art film which reminded me of 1920s german cinema. Which is ok by me .
