Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - FIRST REVIEW: It's utterly stunning on the eye, decidedly loud on the ear, and a thousand-watt jolt to the spirits, says BRIAN VINER in Cannes
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which had its world premiere last night at the Cannes Film Festival , is an absolute blast from start to finish.
Unsubtly, unabashedly, he feeds off classic Westerns such as John Ford’s 1956 masterpiece The Searchers to set up the tale of spirited young Furiosa, abducted from a peaceful oasis by raddled Hell’s Angels types who find her sabotaging their bikes. Eventually, with her formidable mother (Charlee Fraser) giving frantic chase across a parched desert, she falls into the hands of the charismatic, messianic warlord Dementus, exhilaratingly played by a scarcely-recognisable Chris Hemsworth like a cross between El Cid and Charles Manson. Miller admitted this week, by the way, that the set of Fury Road a decade ago was a deeply unhappy place, scarred by the tension between co-stars Charlize Theron, who played the mature Furiosa so splendidly, and a recalcitrant Tom Hardy.
