High-octane fresco of the greatest mastery that is, or if a blend of punk and heavy metal had a visual language in order to tell you and show you an initiatory journey of the most explosive dramaturgy.
The storytelling is a pure never ending rollercoaster of the highest intensity, with at the same time, a lot of emotional depth and philosophical layers...
Anya Taylor-Joy as always kills it and takes over the frame with depth and silent strength... The evolution of Furiosa throughout the story is quite a bliss to experience and witness. From a survivor with a dream, to a chameleon with a spirit of vengeance, to a leader for the sake of reigning in order to live on and eventually make this broken dream into something real again (?)
Chris Hemsworth's character of Dementus is the perfect mirror to Furiosa's dark side while he is the very instigator of this "Imperator" in the making.
Important to mention that, even if Anya Taylor-Joy is technically the lead role of this movie, the fact is that the majority of the lines of the movie are majestically served by a Chris Hemsworth at the top of his game ! I don't know if it's Oscar worthy, but he for sure delivered a truly great performance from beginning to end (and what a mesmerizing ending that invites you to reflection).
The whole piece is -as expected- highly flattering for your very eyes, while your heart rate is very probably gonna reach some dragster type of speed !...
The settings, like in Fury Road, are dirty & decayed while hitting you with rich rusty shades of orange, red and yellow....and it's heavy on metal of course ! Metal, gasoline and...adrenaline. The richness of the content of the film expands in many ways the lore of Mad Max, adding a lot of new tasty details that upgrade this fictional world and give it all even more meaning and importance.
To me, beyond the absolutely delightful photography of the movie and sheer mastery in the art of staging and framing action & characters... The big X Factor and bonus that amplifies the whole experience of the movie is the powerful humane vibrance at its core... It gives this uncommon movie an extra flavor that takes it up a notch and makes it a true masterpiece (but yeah, the extremely fine photography and crazy epic action makes it all otherworldly catchy, ngl) ; that's just like nothing else you've ever seen.
