The second instalment of the Joker series is, in part, a musical. Who would have thought that, notwithstanding the starring role for Lady Gaga? But it’s hardly mainstream entertainment. Rather, it has the feel of a dark independent film, which I appreciated for the layers within. Like he did so brilliantly in Joker, Joaquin Phoenix…

The sequel, Wonder Woman 1984 (or WW84 if you prefer), is one of the first blockbusters to welcome cinema audiences back the pandemic-related lockdowns. So there’s a lot riding on it to be a success. Unfortunately, as is the case…

Now, Joaquin Phoenix is destined for the 2020 Academy Awards in a similar guise, as the lead in Todd Phillips’ crime-thriller Joker. This is an unusual origin story set in the early 1980s. Joker…
