When we talk about motion pictures, we often take the word “motion” for granted. But film has always been a medium about movement: the shuffling of frames, the choreography of combat, the balletic interplay of dollies and booms and Steadicams.
George Miller’s majestic return to his action-apocalypse roots—2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road—is a love letter to the art of film as moving image. Essentially a continuous chase scene, Fury Road has some of the most audacious stunts in modern cinema.
But it’s also a nuanced, subtle character study. A film about societal collapse, toxic masculinity, and human rights.
