Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Justin J — 17 Nov 2016
A simply outstanding (as well as outstandingly simple) post-apocalyptic, dystopian, punk, Western, car chase action film. Director George Miller said that he aspired to Hitchcock's ideal of a film that a person in Japan could watch, enjoy, and understand without reading any subtitles. And Miller has damn well succeeded.
If I have one complaint, it's that not enough time was spent on the slave women: their sleeping arrangements, their bathing rituals, their unblemished bodies. What is sex like in the world of Mad Max? Specifically, group sex? I guess we'll never know. Le sigh.
Srsly, though: bravo, George Miller. Take a bow.
