George Miller’s berserko road movie is avail­able in all its mono­chrome majesty.

What a love­ly day. A black-and-white cut of Mad Max: Fury Road has been moot­ed by George Miller ever since the film’s release last year, when he expressed his desire to release a decolourised ver­sion. Turns out Miller is a man of his word, because the ​‘Black & Chrome’ edi­tion, which he recent­ly described as ​“the best ver­sion” of the movie, is now avail­able to stream via Ama­zon.

Speak­ing to Indiewire back in Sep­tem­ber, the vision­ary Aus­tralian writer/​director revealed that he’s want­ed to put out a mono­chrome Mad Max as far back as 1981’s Road War­rior, the sec­ond film in the fran­chise, stat­ing: “[There’s] some­thing about black-and-white, the way it dis­tills it, makes it a lit­tle bit more abstract. Some­thing about los­ing some of the infor­ma­tion of colour make it some­how more icon­ic.” Judg­ing by the gor­geous trail­er embed­ded below, we’re inclined to agree.
