Analysis: “Once upon a time there was a genius” masterfully explores the art of storytelling

The film with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton is directed by George Miller

Three thousand years of craving, of desire? the new functionality from Giorgio MillerThree thousand years of nostalgia, he received the title of in Brazil Once upon a time there was a genius. The original is more complex, but the Brazilian quickly kills a farce. Once upon a time … So the fairy tales begin and the film is about the improbable – impossible? – academic meeting Tilda Swintonwho studies the mythological narratives of different cultures, with the genius in the bottle. Idris Elba is who plays the role and this Tuesday, 6, he turned 50. Like a genius, she introduces herself to Tilda – her name is Alithea – and offers her the traditional three wishes. She hesitates: what can you do with three wishes? Reversing the classic tale-Sherazade, the narrator-the genius tells Elithrea the story of her 3,000 years of solitude.

Return to Cannes. Back in the festival spotlight in May, George Miller saw his work acclaimed. There were long minutes of standing ovations. In 2015 he had already shown, even out of competition, Mad Max – Fury Road. The following year he returned as president of the jury who snubbed Kleber Mendonça Filho (Acquarium) and Paul Verhoeven (she) and awarded the Palme d’Or to Ken Loach, for Me, Daniel Blake. Nothing is further from Miller’s universe than the British author’s naturalism. He warned: At the jury’s press conference, Miller announced that he was willing to see and celebrate the diversity of world cinema. It is worth recapping. Miller didn’t invent it, but he certainly contributed to cinema as the territory of dystopian futurism.

Crazy Max, the first, made history. He drew young Mel Gibson. 2 sequels, The hunt continuesand 3, Beyond Thunderdome. Crazy Max become a gladiator in the city ruled by Tina Turner. He is abandoned to die in the desert and welcomed by wild children. He returns with them to establish a new order. A delusional baroque contaminates history, emphasizes Jean Tulard Film dictionary. Tina sings the anthology We don’t need another hero. Thirty years passed before Miller returned Crazy Max in operatic road of fury. No more Mel Gibson – Tom Hardy and Charlyze Theron, Furiosa.

Miller put his storytelling skills to the test. Once upon a time there was a genius that’s all. Idris tells stories of love and betrayal, of love and war, of love and violence. Always love. Alithea resists – until when? The viewer immediately surrenders to the voluptuousness with which Miller adopts different styles to tell the stories. As he likes to say, “In the movies, you should wear a seat belt.” The Junkie XL soundtrack is character. The final melancholy music introduces a note of alienation. Is love more intense when unattainable?
