The film’s subtitle “Folie a Deux” means “Madness of Two” in French
Story
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. This initially led to speculation that Harley Quinn would appear in the film, which was confirmed shortly thereafter.
It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome
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. The jury representative mistakenly refers to “The People of New York” instead of Gotham City.. Arthur Fleck: [Written as a spiteful autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE YOU HAVE CANCER.
This was a complete waste of time
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. As a huge Joker fan, I expected a strong comeback five years later.
The film was a complete drag
Every time I thought the film was getting better, it got worse. Save yourself the time and money. Joaquin Phoenix’s performance was excellent, but the writing was terrible. Through no fault of its own, Joker Folie A Deux is up there as one of the worst sequels ever.
This film should have been released for free on Tubi
The film seemed more like a showcase of Lady Gaga’s singing and acting skills, which isn’t a great thing. I think this could be the biggest box office flop of 2024. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
