In front of a packed crowd at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts on Aug. 1, Francis Ford Coppola took the stage after a screening of his ambitious and polarizing epic “ Megalopolis ,” delivering a sweeping meditation on death and humanity — far from your typical Q&A.

The legendary filmmaker had wrapped a six-city U.S. tour in support of 'Megalopolis' in partnership with Live Nation at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts on Friday night.

On Instagram, the filmmaker reassured his fans: “Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30 year old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor - Dr. Andrea Natale! I am well!”
