Released last October 4, Joker: Folie à Deux It has had a very short life on the big screen, since from today you can enjoy the film on digital platforms. He economic disaster for Warner Bros. He is one of those that leaves wounds and responds to some harsh criticism from the press and public who have not been satisfied with the Todd Phillips product.
However, there are those who liked the sequel with Joaquin Phoenix and he is a Hollywood heavyweight. Quentin Tarantino himself has chatted with The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast to expand on his opinion about the film that, even with its flaws, he considers that he has greatly enjoyed.
“I liked it very, very much. I went in expecting to be impressed by the technical quality, but I thought it was going to be an intellectual exercise, something I couldn’t connect with emotionally. I figured I would appreciate it for what it is, but I didn’t think it would work as a movie in itself. And I’m nihilistic enough to enjoy a movie that doesn’t quite work as a movie, something that’s a big, chaotic mess. But it wasn’t an intellectual exercise that really grabbed me. “The more banal the songs were, the better they seemed to me.”
The filmmaker has even compared Joker: Folie à Deux con natural born killersthe film whose story is his responsibility and which shows a pair of murderers in love. He believes that the 2024 production is greatly inspired by that of 1994.
“Just as the first film owed a great debt to Taxi Driverthis one seems very, very influenced by Natural Born Killers, which I wrote. That’s the Natural Born Killers I would have dreamed of seeing, as the creator of Mickey and Mallory. I loved what they did. I loved the direction it took. “The whole movie was Mickey Knox’s fever dream.”
Curiously, Tarantino was able to see it in a practically empty IMAX theater in Tel Aviv and says that “I was laughing in scenes where others probably wouldn’t laugh.” To highlight your pleasant surprise with Joker: Folie à Deuxcelebrated Phillips’ work and the message he was sending to many sectors:
“Todd Phillips es the Joker. The Joker directed the film. The whole concept, even spending the studio’s money, he did it like the Joker would do. And then the big surprise gift—lol—the jack-in-the-box trick, when he offers you his hand to shake and you get a shock of 10,000 volts—is for the comic book fans. He’s saying ‘screw them’ to all of them, to movie audiences, to Hollywood, and to anyone who owns shares in DC and Warner Brothers… Todd Phillips is the Joker. A Joker moviethat’s what it is. “He’s the Joker.”
