I had seen the "Joker" shot five years earlier and I don't understand why it's defined as a "police" genre, but probably it's because I truly understand very little, and it's not even a "musical" tout court, which by the way, right from the start when the psychiatrist asks Arthur/Joker what he remembers about the latest murders, he replies: "the music", and this says a lot about the continuation of the film's narration, a narration that doesn’t tire despite the two and a half hours, and remains quite smooth.
In some ways and in certain scenes, it reminded me of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and only those who have seen it can understand why, and also "Taxi Driver" for the discomfort someone can experience, and then tries somehow to overcome it, perhaps with a certain exhibitionist protagonism.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta does not do badly at all even as an actress (I haven’t seen any other of her films so I can't make comparisons).
Without giving spoilers, one of the scenes that I liked the most was the emblematic one where Joker/Arthur laughs and cries in the rain in the courtyard of the psychiatric prison, a hospital that right from the start doesn’t bode well.
Needless to say, Joaquin Rafael Bottom "Phoenix" remains a great film interpreter, as always anyway.
As for Todd Philip Bunzl, he intrigued me enough to make me want to see his other films and gnente.
