![]() With a generous hand from the inimitable sounds of PJ Harvey, Madly’s title sequence attempts to do just that: encapsulate that explosive, unquantifiable thing. To introduce this multilingual, multi-part tale of love, infatuation, and romance, the global co-production turned to Canadian title designer Galen Johnson ( The Forbidden Room) to create a title sequence that would capture the feeling, the idea of love – and act as the connective tissue to tie the entire piece together. Madly is an international anthology film bringing together six stories of love – in many different forms – from six very different filmmakers: Gael García Bernal, Anurag Kashyap, Natasha Khan, Sebastián Silva, Sion Sono, and Mia Wasikowska. Few others get the opportunity to meaningfully weigh in on this subject on screen, least of all the title designer. In the comparatively brief history of the moving image, putting that emotion in motion has usually been the purview of filmmakers and actors. Poets, painters, philosophers, songwriters, and scribes have long attempted to put love into words or music or images, with varying degrees of success. What is that you’re feeling? The love of another – be it a person or a god – is one of the primary drivers of creative output in this world.
