Venice 2024 review: 'Joker: Folie À Deux' - Don't send in the clown
The sequel to 2019’s 'Joker' is the buzziest title of this year’s Venice Film Festival.
This time, Lady Gaga joins director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix for a follow-up that isn’t a straightforward psychological thriller but a semi-jukebox musical.
Bold gambit.
Shame it doesn't pay off.
