A slow descent into madness

Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Fleck wears two masks, the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he’s part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.

Joker is an American psychological thriller directed by Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver. The film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, ZazieBeetz, and Frances Conroy appear in supporting roles.
