As a cinephile who’s witnessed the evolution of DC films, I must admit that the Venice Film Festival has always been a special stage for DC’s most intriguing characters to strut their stuff. The premiere of Todd Phillips‘ Joker: Folie À Deux was no exception, with the enigmatic Joaquin Phoenix and the captivating Lady Gaga gracing the red carpet in a spectacle that made Venice seem like the city of dreams.
The Venice Film Festival is in full swing, with creatives coming from all over the world to showcase their movies in the Italian water locked city. Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie À Deux was one of the buzzy features that was screened in the past week, and it was a star-studded premiere. Both Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga showed up to the event to support the project along with the director. The filmmaker posted photos and a fun message from the festival on social media on social media as the press tour kicks off, and it’s such a mood.
In his recent Instagram post, Todd Phillips showcased some highlights from the weekend in Venice. He shared photos of himself alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who both had some big fashion moments throughout the weekend. The Venetian setting is one of the world’s most beautiful, somewhat contrasting the dark content of the latest Joker film. The trio looked fabulous together, cementing themselves as the effortlessly cool kids of the film festival. You can see the stars at the event below:
I must admit, debuting my movie at such a prestigious event like the Venice Film Festival is truly a dream come true! The black-and-white cinematography really resonated with me and added an extra layer of depth to the film. In his social media post, the director behind “The Hangover” expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards the festival organizers for a fantastic weekend. Interestingly enough, this isn’t our DC crew’s first time gracing the event; 2019’s “Joker” also premiered here. In his own words, it seems he is equally thrilled to be back and share our work with such an appreciative audience.
Back from an amazing time at the Venice Film Festival in Italy! Thanks for having us again. What a whirlwind of a week, but we’re only warming up. “Joker: Folie à Deux” will be out on October 4th everywhere!
The movie titled “Joker: Folie À Deux” is generating quite a bit of chatter, but opinions about it, especially after its screening at Venice, seem to be divided sharply. Our critic Eric Eisenberg gave his take on the film and, while he commended the acting chemistry between Phoenix and Lady Gaga, he had some reservations about the movie’s tempo and tone. It appears that Eisenberg isn’t the only one with such feelings as many critics share similar sentiments towards Todd Phillips’ work. Nevertheless, the film was met with an extended 11-minute applause in Venice.
Despite some initial skepticism, the original film in this franchise faced similar criticism and was considered contentious, much like Joker did. Yet, Joker garnered a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars and Joaquin Phoenix took home the Best Actor award for his performance. Therefore, there’s a strong possibility that audiences and fans of the first movie will find Folie À Deux compelling as well. We’ll have to wait and see how the public responds to the movie, but it seems clear that Todd Phillips and his team are eagerly anticipating the buzz! Fingers crossed for more monochrome snapshots too!
You’ll have a chance to watch “Joker: Folie À Deux” nationwide on October 4th as part of its 2024 release schedule. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can also catch Joaquin Phoenix’s Academy Award-winning performance in the original film, which is now available for streaming to Max subscribers.
