Why watch this film?
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a highly anticipated film since the powerful and almost unanimously praised Mad Max: Fury Road hit theaters. After all, even though it doesn’t directly continue what filmmaker George Miller showcased to the world in 2015, Furiosa explores the origin of his strongest character, who now gives the story its title—played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road and then by Anya Taylor-Joy in the prequel. Even though Miller's 2024 film doesn’t have the same strength, originality, and finesse as the 2015 movie, presenting a certain repetition of ideas and a script lost in a confusion of concepts, it’s hard not to be thrilled by Miller’s creative outburst, which expands and plays with the Mad Max universe since 1979. Worth noting, as in Fury Road, are the well-directed action scenes with choreography that will leave you staring at the screen in awe.

The Aviator
Christopher Reeve was a great aviation enthusiast, with that passion becoming clear in the movie.
Three Thousand Years of Longing
Directed by George Miller ("Mad Max: Fury Road"), "Three Thousand Years of Longing" is definitely an unusual and unexpected movie. After all, the story, which is nothing more than a contemporary fable, tells the journey of Alithea (Tilda Swinton), a lonely woman who lives almost exclusively for her profession: the study of letters, characters and narratives that cross history. But during a conference in Turkey, her life changes. A new love? A new job? A tragedy? None of that: inadvertently, she finds a genie (Idris Elba) who grants her three wishes. From then on, Miller, who signs the script alongside Augusta Gore and based on the story by A.S. Byatt, does magic. As if it were nothing, he puts the Genie - who has nothing to do with the blue creature from "Aladdin" - to tell stories. A contemporary and intelligent rereading of "One Thousand and One Nights", mixing different elements and images and thus creating a story that brings the fable into a new context. It's pure Miller, surprising in form and language, with performances that make everything even tastier, frank and unusual. Click here to read the full review.
Mad Max
A classic movie, made on a low budget in Australia and that launched Mel Gibson and director George Miller to stardom. A real lesson on how to make a movie in the genre.
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
Many consider it the high point of the original Mad Max trilogy. In this movie, Director George Miller takes his vision of humanity's future, still haunted by the oil crisis, to the extreme.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
The conclusion of the original Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson, unforgettable for its famous Thunderdome and the song "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner.
Mad Max: Fury Road
One of the best action movies of the 2010s, perhaps the best. After all, filmmaker George Miller returns to the franchise that put him in the spotlight of Hollywood to completely repaginate the production of the story. Out goes Mel Gibson and in comes Tom Hardy. In addition, he takes his foot off of exaggerated masculinity to bring on one of the most remarkable female characters in contemporary cinema with the figure of Furiosa (Charlize Theron). It's a tense and intense movie, which doesn't follow basic script standards, bringing action to the surface from the beginning of the film. Even if you're not a fan of action dystopias, it's hard not to get enthusiastic and excited about the feature.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Alien: Romulus
While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.
The Animal Kingdom
The Animal Kingdom is an ambitious French film that blends magical realism with our recent pandemic traumas to propose an intriguing story about intolerance and otherness. The story is set in France, in a world where an unexplained wave of mutations is turning humans into animals. To care for his mutated mother, a boy (Paul Kircher) moves with his father (Romain Duris) to a village in a wooded region of France, but as he begins to adjust to his new life, he starts turning into an animal himself. The film presents rich dichotomies (the natural world vs. civilization, normativity vs. divergence, repression vs. freedom) and features well-crafted visual effects that suggest perhaps it is those who hate, oppress, and try to control nature who are the most beastly and irrational.
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth installment of the saga in its original continuity. Set in the (then) near future of the 1990s, the film portrays a society in which apes have been enslaved by humanity, until one more evolved than the rest instigates a revolution that represents the fall of the human race. In addition to closing the line of events leading to the story of the original, this film also shares several narrative elements with what would be its reboot: here we meet Caesar, played by Roddy McDowall, and later by Andy Serkis in the new movies.
Ultraman: Rising
Ultraman: Rising is a charming Netflix animation that puts the traditional Japanese character in the perspective of children. In the story, Ken Sato, a baseball superstar, returns to Japan to become the newest hero to take on the mantle of Ultraman. His plans go awry, however, when he is forced to raise a newborn kaiju monster, the offspring of his greatest enemy, as his own child. Sato will also have to deal with his relationship with his estranged father and the schemes of the Kaiju Defense Force. A film for the little ones, but one that also finds space to awaken the child within each of us.
