    I thought it had a terrible time finding a distributor, and it seemed as if you'd have to go to a large city to see it. The movie has a rave review at the NY Times, with this caution:
    "After I saw "Megalopolis" a second time, I flashed on something that the critic David Thomson wrote in 1997 in a review of the neo-noir "L.A. Confidential." Thomson was enthusiastic about the film, but wondered if big audiences would find it too demanding. "We are out of training," he wrote, an admirably gentle way to address the lament that the mass audience has no interest in putatively difficult movies."
    L.A. Confidential is one of the most memorable films I've ever seen.
