TEHRAN-The 2024 Australian movie “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” directed and produced by George Miller will be screened and reviewed at Art Garden Pavilion (Kushk Art Garden) in Tehran on Wednesday. 

The event is the second session of the Art and Speech Club, which is held every month at the Kushk Art Garden, ILNA reported.

A post-apocalyptic action film, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is the fifth installment in Miller's “Mad Max” franchise, and the first not focused on series protagonist Max Rockatansky, instead acting as both a spin-off prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015) and an origin story for the “Fury Road” character Furiosa, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne in the prequel.

Set 15 to 20 years before the events of “Fury Road,” the film follows the title character's life for over a decade, from her kidnapping by the forces of warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) to her ascension to the rank of Imperator. Tom Burke also stars as Praetorian Jack, a military commander who befriends Furiosa.

Several “Fury Road” cast members return in supporting roles, including John Howard, Nathan Jones, and Angus Sampson reprising their characters. 

Upon its release, the film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, action sequences, and performances (particularly Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth).

The Art Garden Pavilion as a center for screening, introducing, promoting, and teaching art, is an environment for holding conferences, music concerts, and exhibitions. The architecture of Art Garden Pavilion is designed based on the pavilions of Iranian gardens. The use of Safavid-style architecture, a dome roof with colored windows, pools resembling Fin Bathroom in Kashan, and Qajar-style stucco and mirror work have created an environment for artists and art lovers to gather there.

The film screening will start at 5 p.m. on July 10 at the Art Garden Pavilion, situated on Abbasabad hills, Haghani Expressway.
