So my favourite film hit half a decade while I wasn’t paying attention. So, glory to Fury Road, a testament to just what blockbuster filmmaking can achieve.
Considering that we so often accept bland, cookie-cutter bundles of amiable banter and action that just “looks cool”, it’s quite miraculous. A two-and-a-half hour chase film which weaves tragedy, redemption and societal commentary into its fabric, all while lacing its action with blood-stirring drama and white-knuckle peril. To say nothing of crafting dozens of resonant images which burn themselves on the back of the eye.
And yes, I still well up at the final “witness me”.
