The George Miller Tape 'Mad Max: Fury on the road' ('Mad Max: Fury Road') will receive the Fipresci Grand Prize at the San Sebastian Festival.
This award is awarded by international critics to the best film of the last year. The post-apocalyptic film will take over from a film that couldn't be more different, Richard Linklater's 'Boyhood', a film that subsequently received an Oscar from six Hollywood Academy Award nominations.
Some experts already have 'Mad Max: Fury Road' as a great bet for the OscarsAlthough it is hard to imagine that a film of this style will be nominated for the best film statuette, although this Fipresci Grand Prize has also been a surprise.
And you have to think that since this award was created, the award has gone to such auteur filmmakers such as the aforementioned Richard Linklater, Michael Haneke, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jafar Panahi, the Spanish Pedro Almodóvar, Jean -Luc Godard or Nuri Bilge Ceylan. all of them filmmakers far removed from the filmography of George Miller, director who, on the other hand, when thanking the award, has admitted to being completely surprised by the mention.
