“Joker: Folie À Deux”, interview with director Todd Phillips

“Joker: Folie À Deux” the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning “Joker”, is back in the Venice Competition after winning the Golden Lion.

Director Todd Phillips confesses that there couldn’t have been no other place but Venice to premiere this sequel as for the way the film was received.

This new Joker film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga.

Thanks to the presence of Lady Gaga, who was also a music consultant for the film, “Joker: Folie À Deux” turns into a musical where the songs are the way its characters speak their mind and their true feelings.

Besides the musical part, Todd Philipps remarks that “this new film is about identity and questions who Arthur Fleck is and whether Joker is truly part of him”

The film will be released worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, and will be only in theaters nationwide on October 4, 2024
