The film’s subtitle, “Folie a Deux,” means “Madness of Two” in French
Synopsis
Failed comedian Arthur Fleck, struggling with his dual identity, meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn, while incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital. Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, and director-writer Todd Phillips share what scared them most about tackling the musical sequel. Plus, Gaga talks about how she got into and stayed in her dark character. This initially led to speculation about Harley Quinn appearing in the film, which was soon after confirmed. The name Folie a Deux comes from 19th-century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret.
It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome
The term was coined to refer to two or more people who share the same madness or delusion. The jury president speaks of the “people of New York” instead of Gotham City. This is because New York State is the plaintiff in a criminal trial, and this version of Gotham is evidently set in New York state (most versions place Gotham in New Jersey). Arthur Fleck: [Written as a spiteful autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE YOU HAVE CANCER. The film opens with a Looney Tunes title sequence, with the Warner Bros logo surrounded by rings and the Joker’s face..
Merrily We Roll AlongWritten by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher, and Charles Tobias
Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Wicked Discovery of a Lifetime (2022). Joker 2 attempts to dive into the mind of Arthur Fleck once again, but unfortunately, it treads too much of the same ground as the first film. The original Joker was such a meticulous and thorough character study that by the end, it felt like little was left to discover. That same feeling haunts this sequel, which struggles to find new dimensions to Arthur’s complex psyche, making the film feel more like an epilogue than a new narrative. Joaquin Phoenix, as expected, gives an excellent performance as Arthur Fleck, further cementing his unsettling portrayal of the Joker.
The film shines the brightest when it focuses on the twisted, toxic relationship between Joker and Harley
Lady Gaga also brings depth to her role as Harley Quinn, adding a new dynamic to Arthur’s story. However, the film continually strays from their strong performances with unnecessary musical numbers and courtroom drama that feel out of place. Ironically, the film feels best when it alludes to the iconic scenes and atmosphere of the first film, rather than when it attempts to experiment with new elements. References to Arthur’s lonely, disturbed journey in the original film evoke the same unsettling tension and emotional weight that made Joker so powerful. However, attempts to add new layers with courtroom drama and musical sequences that come out of nowhere end up detracting from the flow of the story, and feel more like distractions than meaningful additions.
Ultimately, Joker 2 feels more like a sequel that didn’t have much more to say
The chemistry between Phoenix and Gaga adds a fascinating layer to the film, but unfortunately, these moments are too few and far between. While it has its highlights, particularly in its performances, the film feels like an unnecessary addition to the first rather than a compelling new chapter. For fans of the original, it may feel redundant, offering little new exploration of Arthur’s character or the world he inhabits.
