ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Todd Phillips’ (THE HANGOVER, WAR DOGS) JOKER takes a brand new turn on the classic model of the comic-book origin story, focusing on the birth of the iconic Batman nemesis, the Joker. Starring Joaquin Phoenix (HER, GLADIATOR), “Joker” is a dark and thrilling dive into what breaks the human spirit, contorting it into a supervillain alter ego, the Joker. Time Out describes the film as "a truly nightmarish vision of late-era capitalism - arguably the best social horror film since Get Out - and Joaquin Phoenix is magnetic in it."

SYNOPSIS

In Gotham City, mentally troubled comedian Arthur Fleck is disregarded and mistreated by society. He then embarks on a downward spiral of revolution and bloody crime. This path brings him face-to-face with his alter-ego: the Joker.
