Narrative

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-writer Todd Phillips share what scared them most about tackling the musical sequel. . The film is subtitled "Folie a Deux" stands for "Madness of Two" In French.

Instead of Gotham City

It is also called Lasègue-Falret syndrome.

This is because New York State is the plaintiff in a criminal trial, and this version of Gotham City is clearly located in New York State (most versions place Gotham in New Jersey). The film opens with a Looney Tunes title sequence, featuring the ringed Warner Bros logo and the Joker’s face.. AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Wicked Discovery of a Lifetime (2022). Merrily We Roll Along was written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher and Charles Tobias.

However, it is a story full of holes

A disappointing sequel to Joker: Folie à Deux, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga deliver solid performances bringing two tortured and complex characters to life. While the first film won us over with its psychological depth and its powerful social critique, this second chapter seems to be struggling to find its own identity. The plot, fragmented and predictable at times, can’t hold its own against its predecessor. The characters, while interesting, remain in the background relative to an action that gets lost in pointless diversions.

Despite the technical skills and great performances, the story is weak

In conclusion, Joker: Folie à Deux is a film that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, and is often boring. A disappointing sequel, with a weak plot and far less emotional impact than the first film..
