Synopsis
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 writer-director Todd Phillips share what scared them most about taking on the musical sequel. The subtitle of the film is "Folie a Deux" stands for "Madness of Two" in french This initially led to speculation about Harley Quinn appearing in the film, which was soon confirmed. The name Folie a Deux comes from the 19th century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret.
It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome
The term was coined to describe two or more people who share the same insanity or delusion. The foreman of the jury talks about the "People of New York" instead of Gotham City. This is because New York State is the plaintiff in the criminal case, and this version of Gotham City is obviously located in New York State (most versions of Gotham are in New Jersey). Arthur Fleck: [Written as a naughty autograph with a sad face] I HOPE YOU HAVE CANCER.
Appeared in AniMat’s The Wicked Discovery of a Lifetime (2022)
The film opens with the title Looney Tunes with the Warner Bros logo surrounded by rings and the face of the Joker. Merrily We Roll Along Written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher and Charles Tobias. Joker: Folie à Deux, a sequel that disappoints, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga offer a good interpretation, giving life to two tortured and complex characters. But it is the story that is full of holes.
Despite its technical merits and great performances, the story is weak
While the first film captivated us with its psychological depth and strong social critique, the second chapter seems to be struggling to find its own identity. The plot, fragmented and predictable at times, fails to hold a candle to its predecessor. The characters, while interesting, take a backseat to the action, which gets lost in unnecessary diversions. In conclusion, Joker: Folie à Deux is a film that leaves a bad taste in the mouth, often even boring.
An underwhelming sequel, with a poor plot and far less emotional impact than the first film
