Although the musical film Prava nota set the bar very high with the first film, it seems that the girls from the group Bardenska Belle will move it an octave higher in the second.

The premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road (May 14, 2015) is fast approaching, and to help you get through the next few days until the fourth installment of the post-apocalyptic franchise, we're serving up all the wrecked vehicles featured in it. Director George Miller dedicated a large part of the film to the octane monsters, which will probably completely steal the show from Tom Hardy, who replaces Mel Gibson and Charlize Theron in the role of Max.

It's a challenge that they give him - and here's another interesting thing - a digitally animated group of aliens, voiced by the legendary members of the Monty Python team. Then there's the talking dog, voiced by the late Robin Williams.
Fashion and film have always worked extremely well together.
