Film Review - Joker: Folie a Deux

JOKER FOLIE A DEUX 3

2019’s “Joker” was meant to be a single film. The production team promised as much, working to give the Clown Prince of Crime his “Taxi Driver” moment with a psychological study of a broken man slowly losing himself to insanity. The feature wasn’t just a hit, but a phenomenon, outgrossing “Batman” movies as people lined up to watch star Joaquin Phoenix have his way with an iconic character. The picture explored a soiled world of sin and pain, ending on a note of chaos that wasn’t meant to be developed in sequels. The one-off is now a franchise, with major box office returns inspiring a follow-up in “Joker: Folie a Deux” (my French is a little rusty, but I think the title loosely translates to “big paydays for all”), with co-writer/director Todd Phillips trying to squeeze a little more misery out of this universe. Unfortunately, the teat is dry this time around, as “Folie a Deux” adds nothing to the “Joker” experience beyond musical numbers, with this round of hard stares and cigarette smoking periodically broken up by uninspired moments of song and dance.
