Struggling with his dual identity, failed comedian Arthur Fleck meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn, while incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital. Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, and director and screenwriter Todd Phillips share what scared them the most about tackling the musical sequel. Plus, Gaga opens up about how she got into and stayed in her dark persona. The film’s subtitle “Folie a Deux” means “Madness of Two” in French. This initially led to speculation that Harley Quinn would appear in the film, which was confirmed shortly thereafter. The name Folie a Deux comes from 19th-century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret. The term was coined to refer to two or more people who share the same madness or delusion. It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome. The jury president refers to the “people of New York” instead of Gotham City. This is because New York State is the plaintiff in a criminal case and this version of Gotham City is evidently located in New York State (most versions place Gotham in New Jersey). Arthur Fleck: [Written as a spiteful autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE YOU HAVE CANCER. The film opens with a Looney Tunes title sequence, with the Warner Bros. logo surrounded by rings and the Joker’s face. Appeared in Crazy Cartoon Cast from AniMat: The Wicked Discovery of a Lifetime (2022). Merrily We Roll Along Written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher, and Charles Tobias. Before watching the film, I avoided reading reviews or watching trailers because I had incredibly high expectations. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, I was hoping for a deep and intense portrayal of the Joker, a character known for his dark, complex, and psychopathic nature. While Phoenix and Gaga give solid performances, the film fails to tell the story we all wanted. Instead of delving into the Joker’s twisted psyche, we’re treated to a strange mix of musical numbers and dance sequences that feel out of place, often popping up every few minutes with no real purpose. The Joker’s torment, his darkness, and his complexity are all missing. What makes it worse is that we all know this isn’t the *real* Joker from the comics or previous films. But even with this freedom, the film wastes the potential to explore the more psychological and chaotic side of the character. Instead, we’re left with a shallow version of what could have been a gripping dive into madness. Supporting characters, like Harley Quinn (played by Gaga), are equally underserved. Instead of playing into their infamously toxic dynamic, her character feels one-dimensional, with little depth to their connection. The lack of meaningful interaction between the Joker and characters like Murray Franklin or even the Arkham inmates drains the story of any tension or intrigue. It’s a shame because, with the right direction, this could easily have been one of the best films of the year. Instead, it’s a disappointment. Save your time and money: this doesn’t live up to expectations. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
