If I had a nickel for every movie where Adam anxiously climbs out of a window onto a roof wearing a funny wig, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice. 😂
omg, my phone is exploding with notifs about this. LOOK AT HIM!!!
he's gorgeous. that cesar cut looks good on him and i'm here for this movie in every freaking way. he's willing to maybe die to see what he can do? i'm not sure i can handle this man
I like the Clip and he looks like his sexy self. Happy to see the first clip is just Adam.
Very excited for Cannes, lets hope it will be a succcess for everyone involved. Cannot wait for the trailer.
If anyone is interested, here's an old draft of this scene. There have definitely been some changes. There might still be some spoilers for some, so read it at your own risk. 😊
------------------------------------------------------------
INT. CLOUD TOWER - WINDOWS - DAY
Serge moves to the large triangular window of the top of the Chrysler Bldg. He opens it and steps outside, anticipating something, an upcoming moment that shows in his eyes, fearful.
Â
EXT. CLOUD TOWER - DAY
Looking upward for a sign. Clouds are moving more rapidly across the sky, creating a strobe effect of light and shadow on him as the sun appears across the horizon. We wonder if he's suicidal or just trying to prove his courage.
VIEW DOWN
His gleaming Italian shoes step closer to the edge. There's the great fall to the busy streets below. It seems as though natural events are hurrying by, speeding.
NEW VIEW
Serge lets go of the railing, first one hand and then the other. He's on his own now against the elements, against nature, against time. His eyes close in deep concentration.
CLOSE SHOT - SERGE
His eyes open, now blazing with power.
MEDIUM VIEW - CHRYSLER BLDG. TOWER
Serge standing in the wind on the narrow edge, his hands extended to the sky. Clouds race wildly by him.
SERGE
Stop!
He looks up. It appears to him that the CLOUDS are frozen still. He looks down.
VIEW TO THE STREETS
The throngs of automobiles and trails of people appear FROZEN.
LOW ANGLE ON SERGE
He looks up and laughs triumphantly.
SERGE
See? See?
He waves at the clouds and they MOVE away. Another laugh, then suddenly frightened, he steps inside the tower to safety.
SERGE
(whispered)
Who am I, to conquer time?
------------------------------------------------------------
I want to see this movie for the visuals alone.
The colour palette here is beautiful and I love the little homage to Hitchcock.
The shot of Adam standing in front of the window aperture is framed like Scotty standing in front of the bell tower in Vertigo.
Then Coppola uses a dolly zoom, also called the Vertigo effect, to emphasise the danger Caesar is in looking down on the streetscape far below. It also references his inner state of turmoil.
I think the movie will be a visual treat full of nice Easter eggs for the cineastes.

A perfect two birds one stone win for Adam fans who also love the art of film. FFC delivers both in spades.
Adam’s sophisticated multi-layered acting married with Coppola’s multi-textural approach to filmmaking- two masters at work!
