Mad Max: Fury Road paints a bleak, violent picture of life in an ecologically devastated world. Survival means warring over scarce resources; the violent demagogues in power require the sacrifice of laborers in order to keep what’s left of civilization alive. Sound eerily familiar? What can this dystopian action movie teach us about living in a world creeping ever closer towards ecological apocalypse? Winner of 6 Academy Awards; don’t mistake this for just another action movie with car chases and explosions!
