In an ambiguous post-apocalyptic future (or alternative present), one man is surrounded only by women and children, with the little boys around him being trained to commit assassinations. This cult-leader-like figure is a million miles from Mad Max's Immortan Joe, his wives and War Boys and herds of souped-up vehicles hurtling across the Namibian desert. It may seem a strange comparison but there is something familiar between the Immortan cult of Fury Road and the Vincent Cassel-led cult in Partisan.
