Angharad, is that just the wind, or is that a furious vexation?

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.

This. Shit. Fucking. Slaps.
I already LOVED this film, and seeing it in black and white elevated it to heavenly heights. George Miller, you genius, I also now consider this to be the best version of the film.
Whilst the colour in the original is vibrant and rich, painting a world full of actual and metaphorical saturation, removing that has created a different and wonderful experience. All of the surreal and glorious scenes in the original are made more so. The action feels biblical in a way that is hard to express, and the whole thing feels like a religious crusade on steroids and nitrous fumes.
Perfect - 10/10
