MAD MAX: FURY ROAD 10th Anniversary

At Picturehouse 441, we've never repeated ourselves, but we felt that if there ever was an occasion to do so, this would be the one, especially on the exact 10th anniversary of its release. With MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, gonzo filmmaker George Miller returned to the series with which he made his name and created an instantly-iconic, action masterpiece. A visually maximalist, narratively minimalist post-apocalyptic adrenaline rush of pure cinema, the fourth entry in this legendary franchise is a fever dream of insane action sequences, expertly cut by editor Margaret Sixel who won the Oscar for her work. A deeply pleasurable assault on the senses that was deservingly hailed as a landmark in action cinema, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the result of a filmmaker and his team who adventured to the cliff of madness and lived to give audiences a glimpse of what was over the edge.

George Miller is a filmmaker best known for MAD MAX, MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR, MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME, LORENZO'S OIL (Oscar nom), BABE: PIG IN THE CITY, HAPPY FEET (Oscar win), MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (two Oscar noms), and FURIOSA, among many others. For producing and co-writing BABE, he was nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture Oscars.
