AT THE MOVIES #968                        BACKSTORY

 

Simon Morris wonders why prequels are so much rarer than sequels – and reviews three films, all in their way, backstories of later events.

 

 

Furiosa is a film following the 15 year backstory of the co-star of Mad Max Fury Road.  Anya Taylor-Joy plays the girl kidnapped from her idyllic home, and out for vengeance.  Once again directed by George Miller, and co-starring Chris Hemsworth as Doctor Dementus.

 

 

 

 

Copa 71 is a documentary of the first, unofficial Women’s Football World Cup in Mexico City 1971.   Football organisers FIFA did all they could to close it down, and later hush it up.   Produced by Venus and Serena Williams.

 

 

 

And Freud’s last session is a play about a fictitious meeting between the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, and the Christian writer, and later creator of the Narnia books, C S Lewis.   Starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey) and Liv Lisa Fies (Babylon Berlin).
