Tonight at 7 p.m. ET, join film critic BilgeEbiri over at vulture for Friday Night Movie Club. He'll be live-tweeting 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' a perfect movie for our troubled times
Photo: Village Roadshow/Kobal/Shutterstock Every week for the foreseeable future, Vulture will be selecting one film to watch as part of our new Friday Night Movie Club. This week’s selection comes from our film critic Bilge Ebiri, who will begin his screening of Mad Max: Fury Road on March 27 at 7 p.m. ET. Head to Vulture’s Twitter to catch his live commentary, and look ahead at next’s week movie here.
Why Fury Road? Of course, on some level, it makes perfect sense. It is certainly one of the greatest action movies of all time, as well as one of the most compelling postapocalyptic visions ever put on film, continuing and escalating the vivid catastrophizing that director Miller kicked off with his first entry in the series back in 1979.
Miller has always excelled at this kind of high operatic style. The Road Warrior offered an electrifying blend of the perverse, the mythic, and the visceral. His medical drama Lorenzo’s Oil, which remains his masterpiece, turned a young boy’s terrifying diagnosis and his family’s grief and gathering determination into an Expressionist symphony.
