Arthur Fleck è un uomo solitario che vive con la madre anziana in un decadente appartamento di Gotham City. Lavora come clown a ore e sogna di diventare un comico. Soffre di un disturbo neurologico che lo porta a ridere in modo incontrollabile nei momenti meno opportuni. La sua vita è segnata da umiliazioni quotidiane: viene aggredito da ragazzi per strada, deriso dai colleghi, ignorato dalla società. L'ambiente che lo circonda è grigio, sporco e violento. Arthur si aggrappa a piccoli gesti di gentilezza e immagina un legame sentimentale con la vicina di casa, Sophie. Gotham è in fermento, la povertà dilaga e le diseguaglianze aumentano....Grazie a Silvia Tiezzi (Redazione), Lucia Pareti (Curiosità), Mariangela Ungaro (Cinema d'ascolto), Fabiola Berretta (Fotografia), Marco Pieroni (Voce narrante).
Send us a textIt's Episode 101 and while we're gearing up to charge full speed ahead, we're going to take a quick look back at the halcyon days of the fall/winter of 2024 when two earth-shattering comic book movie bombs were unleashed on the cinema going public. We're talking Todd Phillips' Joker: Folie a Deux starring Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beets and Brendan Gleeson up against JC Chandor's – who are we kidding? Marvel/Sony's Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor Johnson, Russell Crow, Ariana Debose, Fred Hechinger and Alessandro Nivola. I have assembled my team of elite assassins to pick off and pore over these two fearsome digital age fails, starting with my kid sis and charter member of the Sinatra/Silva Karate dojo Roseanne Caputi, Joe Field hypnotist, psychologist author and quite the crooner, as well as the larger than life, accept-no-substitutes, KING of the real estate drone photography jungle, Gordon Alex Robertson. Before we commence wrestle with those CGI bears and saucy tripper chicks, the synopses. Joker: Folie á DeuxIn this follow up to the inexplicable 2019 mega-hit, The Joker, Arthur Fleck, barely subsists at Arkham State Hospital as he awaits trial for the five, technically six murders he committed in the last film. However, he soon gets his zip back when he is allowed to attend a prison music therapy class and is introduced to fellow inmate Harley “Lee” Quinzel. Together, they share a passionate love affair fueled by music, mayhem and delusions of grandeur.Kraven the HunterAfter being mauled to the point of death by a lion, Sergei Kravinoff, son of notorious Trophy hunter and drug kingpin Nicolai Kravinoff, gains enhanced jungle animal abilities and becomes Kraven The Hunter, a sort of bad guy who fights for the little guy against drug dealers. On his quest to prove himself as the ultimate predator, he confronts his father and half-brother Demetri aka the shapeshifting Chameleon while also teaming up with Calypso, a voodoo potion wielding lawyer. Also, he goes up against The Rhino. So how BAD can they BE?Find out!Watch the podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/jRItWg1TTWg
In 2019, Todd Phillips' Joker, though divisive, received heaps of praise and a box office shattering $1 billion+ take. Joker: Folie à Deux, however, received none of that acclaim or success. That is for good reason. Joker: Folie à Deux is a meandering mess of a film — one that features impromptu musical segments. Those songs, shockingly, are not at all the issue. Instead of carrying on Arthur Fleck's story, Folie à Deux just sort of castrates the character. Certainly, it can be argued that Fleck never intended to become the Joker. But he did. Going back on that in every conceivable way makes for a film with no identity. It honestly feels as if Phillips did not want to make this movie. Their is a palpable disdain that can be felt throughout its trudging two hours. Which begs the question: Why, aside from the potential for a big theatrical haul, was it ever greenlit? The script, like Fleck, is empty. Now, sit back, feed your psychoses with a Psychedelic Rabbit from New Realm Brewing, and stop harassing poor Mr. Puddles!

Cinematographer Lawrence Sher, ASC has a career that spans indie favorites like Garden State to blockbuster hits like the Hangover movies and Joker. But it was the arduous process of creating lookbooks for Garden State that sparked an idea: a comprehensive, searchable database of cinematic images. This idea evolved into ShotDeck, a powerful tool for filmmakers and creatives alike. Larry's initial struggle involved manually grabbing screenshots from DVDs and tapes. Google Images offered some help, but the images lacked the cinematic quality he sought. By 2015, he began working with a computer engineer to build a solution, realizing that if he found such a library valuable, his colleagues would too. After years of beta testing, ShotDeck officially launched as a company in 2020. ShotDeck can also be used beyond pre-production pitch decks. “In my day to day, what I realized was every director I communicated with, across all the other departments, we were constantly in need of communicating creative ideas,” Larry says. “It's difficult to communicate creative ideas with words. Having images that you can point to with a director is the easiest way.” Larry would like ShotDeck to become the "visual IMDb," housing an exhaustive collection of cinematic imagery. Recently, ShotDeck partnered with Canva, integrating its library directly into the design platform. This allows Canva users to seamlessly access and incorporate over 1.5 million high-definition film stills into their projects, streamlining workflows for filmmakers, designers, and content creators. For Joker: Folie à Deux, Larry and director Todd Phillips continued their 15 year collaboration. Certain scenes of the movie were partly influenced by The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. Larry had to rely on using screen grabs from the show's DVDs as visual references, since they weren't inputted into ShotDeck yet. Joker: Folie à Deux maintains a visual connection to the first Joker, but expands on the original by embracing more fantastical elements. They scaled up the stages and sets, which provided greater flexibility in lighting and camera movement. Larry was able to use more color and a wider range of lighting techniques during the musical sequences, as Arthur Fleck becomes more and more detached from reality. He sees Joker: Folie à Deux as an operatic tragedy, exploring the internal conflict of a person battling their shadow self and delving into the complexities of love and its potential to drive someone to the edge. Larry defends director Todd Phillips's creative vision for the sequel. “When you make a sequel, you have to have a new approach to the material, otherwise why do a sequel to anything?” he points out. “This idea that Todd just took $200 million and just lit it on fire is absurd. The greatest thing about Todd as a filmmaker is he's at heart a gambler. He's a gambler in the way that the movie business should be a gamble. What are we doing this for if not to continue to express something that isn't simply trying to service the audience? We're giving something that you might not have asked for.” He continues, “The movie we made and the way we approached it, it's exactly what we were trying to do.” Find Lawrence Sher: Instagram @lawrencesherdp Hear our previous interview with Lawrence Sher on Joker: https://www.camnoir.com/ep56/ You can see Joker: Folie a Deux currently streaming on Max.

On episode 122 of Flickin' It with Matt and Will we spend a night with Joker in what is, so far, one of the worst movies of the year. Seriously. There are few things redeeming about this batshit crazy “musical”. Normally we like batshit crazy, but this is crazy in all the wrong ways. Peaks and valleys in tonal shifts and absolutely no semblance of a plot aside from the protracted trial of Arthur Fleck. Brendan Gleeson as the hard-ass-but-sometimes-kinda-cool security guard? Did not see that coming. We truly think that Todd Philips and Joaquin Phoenix just said FUCK IT ALL when making this movie. Would not recommend.

Joker: Folie à Deux is a follow-up that takes the foundations of 2019's Joker and, quite frankly, leaves them in the dust. Directed once again by Todd Phillips, this sequel trades in the raw, grounded intensity of the first film for a flashy, surreal spectacle that feels jarringly out of place. Where Joker delivered a chilling psychological portrait of Arthur Fleck's descent into madness, Folie à Deux seems content with superficial theatrics and stylistic excess, abandoning the careful character work that made Arthur's story so compelling.The most controversial creative choice here? It has to be the musical element, which feels entirely at odds with the film's established tone. Instead of maintaining the gritty, unnerving realism that defined Arthur's journey, Phillips dives headfirst into a musical fantasy. This choice doesn't just feel unexpected—it feels unearned. The inclusion of song and dance numbers, mainly to explore Arthur's connection to Harley Quinn (played by Lady Gaga), strips away much of the intensity that defined the original, leaving us with a tonal clash that undermines the story's impact.Speaking of Harley, Lady Gaga is a powerhouse performer, and her casting could have been an exciting way to explore a fascinating and complex character. However, the film doesn't do her justice. Rather than giving us a nuanced, intricate look at Harley and Arthur's relationship, Folie à Deux opts for surface-level theatrics that barely scratch the depth these characters deserve. While intriguing, the chemistry between Phoenix and Gaga is undercut by a script that treats their dynamic as little more than a visually striking spectacle rather than a fully developed relationship. Instead of a true exploration of love and chaos, what we get feels like a stylised portrayal of toxic romance without the emotional weight needed to make it resonate.It's disappointing to see Phillips drift so far from the gritty realism that defined Joker. The first film was a brutal examination of a broken man shaped by a broken world, blending tragedy and horror with an uncomfortably close-to-home critique of society. In Folie à Deux, however, Arthur's journey seems almost incidental, overshadowed by Phillips' desire to create something visually bold and tonally eclectic. We're left with a spectacle, but not the kind that delivers any true insight or depth.Overall, Joker: Folie à Deux feels more concerned with aesthetics than substance. The unsettling descent into madness that Joker perfected is sacrificed here, replaced by a style-over-story approach that feels, at best, a creative gamble that didn't pay off. Fans hoping for a continuation of Arthur Fleck's dark, unflinching narrative may find themselves disappointed as this sequel veers wildly off course, trading a complex character study for flashy, hollow musical numbers and a superficial take on love and chaos.If you loved the gritty, psychologically charged experience of the first Joker, this follow-up might leave you wondering why Phillips chose to take Arthur's story in such a drastically different and ultimately less impactful direction.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Quentin Tarantino called Joker 2 a "F-you to comic book geeks" and a "big FU to Hollywood", praising it despite its massive financial failure. Todd Phillips directed Joker 2 as the Joker himself, recklessly spending the studio's $200 million budget and offering a 10,000-volt buzzer handshake as a surprise gift. Joker 2 is reportedly one of the biggest flops of the year, losing $200 million at the box office despite being highly anticipated. Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck is described as "definitely not the Joker" from the comics, contrasting with Heath Ledger's "phenomenal" and "intelligent" portrayal in The Dark Knight. Tarantino enjoyed the musical sequences in Joker 2, particularly the more banal songs, viewing the film as a "fever dream" of Mickey Knox. Tarantino watched Joker 2 in an almost empty IMAX theater, describing it as a "mess" and a "big giant mess" but not an "intellectual exercise". Tarantino commends "Joker 2" for its bold artistic vision and unique portrayal of the character, despite the film's financial failure and mixed reception among comic fans. 00:00 Tarantino praised "Joker 2" as a bold statement against comic fans, but the film flopped, leaving the studio unhappy with its $200 million investment. 01:19 Tarantino lauds Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker 2" as a bold critique of comic fans, amidst a backdrop of negative perceptions and financial concerns in the franchise. 03:10 Joker 2 surprised viewers with its engaging musicality and unique direction, earning Tarantino's praise for its humor and originality. 04:52 Tarantino praised Joaquin Phoenix's performance in "Joker," acknowledging its mixed reception while highlighting the film's boldness and the director's unique vision. 05:54 Tarantino praises "Joker 2" as a bold artistic statement that intentionally provokes comic fans and challenges DC's expectations. 06:50 Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of the Joker diverges significantly from traditional comic interpretations, showcasing a unique character that even Heath Ledger's version doesn't fully embody. 08:10 Heath Ledger's unexpected casting as the Joker shocked many, but his Oscar-winning performance redefined the role, leaving doubts about a potential Joker 3. 09:27 Warner is promoting exclusive content and discounts on their website, encouraging subscriptions and community engagemen

Joaquin Phoenix is widely regarded as one of the best actors of his generation, known for his intense and eccentric on-screen portrayals in period dramas, thrillers, and psychological films. He was raised among siblings who were largely involved in acting, including his late brother, River Phoenix, alongside whom he began his acting career in the 1980s. He made his big-screen debut in SpaceCamp (1986), and he earned his first starring role in the Cold War drama Russkies (1987). Phoenix is known for his commitment to embody each of his roles, particularly in his role as Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips' Joker, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. His filmography includes powerful performances in Gladiator, Her, You Were Never Really Here, Walk the Line–where he won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Johnny Cash–and most recently, Joker: Folie à Deux. In addition to his acting career, Phoenix is an animal rights activist and has taken up producing films like Gunda, and he continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Vivo Barefoot http://vivobarefoot.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter

This week on the podcast, we dive into three very different films, starting with White Bird, directed by Marc Forster and starring Helen Mirren. The film follows Julian, a boy who has been struggling with guilt after being expelled for bullying Auggie Pullman. Julian's grandmother, played by Mirren, shares her powerful story of survival and first love in Nazi-occupied France. Next, we discuss Joker: Folie à Deux, the highly anticipated sequel to Joker, directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. Arthur Fleck returns as Joker, and this time, we meet Harley Quinn, his partner in chaos, as the two form a twisted bond within Arkham State Hospital.

The Joker sequel is here! Does it add anything fresh to Arthur Fleck's story, or is it as awful as people say? Listen to our take, then share your thoughts in the comments! Watch the episode here!
Joaquin Phoenix returns as Arthur Fleck, the Joker, in a dark and twisted continuation of his story. Now imprisoned at Arkham and on trial for the murders from the first film, Arthur meets Lee, a fellow inmate who becomes the love of his life. Together, they descend into a shared delusion, blurring the lines between reality and madness as their connection grows
Born This Way Joaquin Phoenix indulges in a Folie A Deux (aka “Madness of Two”) by restaging the Joker sequel as a musical duet with psycho fangirl Lady Gaga. Will the jury in his high-profile murder trial plug their ears once this incarcerated clown starts singing his defense in full makeup? Or can lawyer Catherine Keener (Get Out) convince them that Arthur Fleck suffers from multiple personality disorder and never wanted to dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight as Gotham City burned? Listen Now to find out if director Todd Phillips leaves the hosts crying or smiling.

The boys are back in Gotham and they stopping by to see their old pal Arthur Fleck in Todd Philips sequel to Joker... Joker: Folie à Deux
Why so serious? In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review Todd Phillips's musical sequel film Joker: Folie a Deux starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. 5 years after the oscar-winning Joker film premiered, Arthur Fleck is back, imprisoned, on trial, falling in love with Harley Quinn, and randomly singing across Arkham. Spoiler alert -- Joker 2 did not live up to our sky high expectations and had way too much music. Shelby and Laura dissect Joker: Folie a Deux's shocking box office flop and scathing reviews, explain what "folie a deux" actually means, highlight our few favorite moments, including the opening cartoon scene and when Arthur decides to represent himself in full clown makeup, analyze what went wrong with the film's many musical numbers, discuss how Lady Gaga was underutilized as Harley Quinn, and debate whether having an alter ego is a green flag.
