Joker: Folie à Deux

[ThaOGDreamWeaver]

So Joker gets a sequel… and Gaga gets a shot at an Oscar?

 

Being the massive movie nerd I am, I’m loving all the tiny nods to classic musicals in the dream sequences, and the way tiny splashes of colour start to drift into Arthur’s grey-green world. And of course, there’s Burt…

 

The relationship gets a (slightly unlikely) new origin story, and we get a new key character - Steve Coogan as a prison official, probably a therapist, who I suspect may be just arrogant enough to think his star patient is fixable.

 

I’m not sure it’s gonna be everyone’s cup of La La Land, including some of the first one’s more vocal Internet fans. I’m sure the YouTube screaming has already begun.
 

But… twisted love story with show tunes? Yeah, that could be more up my dark, red-lit alley full of lonely silhouettes…
