The American actress Anya Taylor-Joy plays the title heroine Furiosa in the new part of the “Mad Max” saga – and knows all about loneliness, ballet lessons and the will to fight.
It is the eyes that speak most intensely in Furiosa. Two white eyes, wide open, shining brightly in a black face, smeared with oil like war paint. Anya Taylor-Joy is the young Furiosa, a fierce fighter – the title heroine in the latest film in the “Mad Max” saga by Australian director George Miller. The film premiered at the Cannes festival last week and will be released in theaters on Thursday.
