Envy
Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal is nothing short of mesmerizing
Disutradarai oleh Todd Phillips, "Joker" menyajikan kisah asal-usul yang sangat masuk akal bagi tokoh sentral yang terkenal kejam. Berlatar di jalanan Kota Gotham yang kumuh, film ini mengisahkan Arthur Fleck (diperankan dengan apik oleh Joaquin Phoenix), seorang komedian gagal yang mengenakan dua topeng: satu sebagai badut untuk pekerjaan sehari-harinya dan satu lagi sebagai upaya putus asa untuk terhubung dengan dunia di sekitarnya. Terisolasi, diintimidasi, dan diabaikan oleh masyarakat, Arthur perlahan-lahan jatuh ke dalam kegilaan, dan akhirnya bertransformasi menjadi dalang kriminal yang dikenal sebagai Joker.
