A Recap

In 2019, Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ took us on a raw and gritty journey deep into the troubled mind of Arthur Fleck, a man struggling to find his place in the harsh streets of Gotham City.

As he navigates a series of brutal encounters and humiliations, we see his unfortunate descent into darkness, culminating in a chilling transformation and destruction. Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Arthur is nothing short of awe-inspiring. He captures every nuance of Arthur’s slow descent into madness with authenticity, drawing us into his turbulent world.

‘Joker’ didn’t just make waves, it shook the very foundations of cinema. It smashed box office records and got a lot of critical acclaim, earning Phoenix an Academy Award for his extraordinary performance.
