Starting in the late seventies, the Australian government expedited funding for its national film productions. What resulted is the resurgence of the Australian New Wave cinema, where directors such as Peter Weir, George Miller, Phillip Noyce and Gillian Armstrong created seminal films that captured Australian society at its finest.

The Criterion Channel showcases several films that are part of the Australian New Wave. One of them is Miller’s 1979 dystopian action thriller film, starring Mel Gibson as the titular character. The bleak world of “Mad Max,” one in which societal collapse gives way to murder and revenge, has become part of popular culture in the decades to come.
