Lady Gaga, stronger than the Joker?
On October 2, 2024, Joker: Folie a due will arrive in French cinemas. It will be, after the selection in competition at the 81st Venice Film Festival, an event in many ways. Especially regarding the casting. Because in addition to Joaquin Phoenix, from whom we expect a new memorable performance as the Joker, it is Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn Incarnation which will be particularly examined. Already praised by the team of Joker: Folie a dueseems to have put herself on the same level as her prestigious partner, and director Todd Phillips recently testified in the columns of the magazine Empire of the uniqueness of his performance.
“It’s really his interpretation”
The director of the trilogy Very bad trip and of Joker explained as follows:
Even though there are things in her performance that will feel familiar to audiences, it’s really her performance, Scott Silver’s performance, and mine. There are things in this Harley Quinn movie that are from the comics, but we took them and worked with them to make them what we wanted.
She (Lady Gaga) discovered how Charles Manson was idolized by girls. That’s how they sometimes have murderers incarcerated to be admired.
The comparison with the guru and criminal Charles Manson, responsible for several murders including that of Sharon Tate, murdered on August 9, 1969is daring to say the least. But it says a lot homicidal madness and the allure of chaos which seem to be at the center of Joker: Folie a due. The more the merrier, and the Joaquin Phoenix-Lady Gaga partnership should provide viewers with a spectacle like no other. And perhaps give the singer and actress her greatest film performance to date. With perhaps, on the horizon, a consecration at the next Oscar ceremony…
