The director and cast then received a seven-minute standing ovation.
Goddamn clickbait headline.
Edit. I'm now pretty sure I read the article wrong.

MODERATORS
Is it clickbait? Sounds like the crowd was just easily guilted into applause after seeing the in memoriam. The boos sound like their actual reaction to the film.
You know what, I think you're right.
The same length as Furiosa's standing ovation
I think it's actually pretty short as Cannes standing ovations go.
The real title: Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis draws mixture of boos and applause at Cannes
Are you desperate for readers with your clickbait title?
The "clickbait" title seems the more accurate of the two, having read the article.
Especially when posting on Lemmy, we can edit the titles people. Don't just copy the clickbait title. Folks here on Lemmy loathe clickbait and I see more things get downvoted to hell because of a lame title.
This coupled with the reports of "old school Hollywood" misogyny on set sounds as if FFC's dormant insanity from Apocalypse Now finally caught up and has had it's way with the ancient mariner, and that's sad thing
Well now I have to see it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
However, the boos quickly turned to cheers when an “In Memoriam” segment proceeded to play for Coppola’s late wife Eleanor, World of Reel’s Jordan Ruimy reported.
New York Magazine’s Bilge Ebiri wrote that, at times, the film “feels like the fevered thoughts of a precocious child, driven and dazzled and maybe a little lost in all the possibilities of the world before him”.
“The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare.
“Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”
Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, DB Sweeney and Dustin Hoffman also star.
“It was as if the Hollywood executives were looking for payback for all those past occasions when Coppola had criticised their way of doing business, or when he had taken their money and produced a box-office turkey, such as the romantic musical One from the Heart (1981) or his car designer biopic Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988),” he wrote.
