A MASTERPIECE

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

This is the movie of the year if not the decade! A masterful directing from Todd Phillips, the photography, the music are also outstanding.
But what is breathtaking, is Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. He has been an outstanding actor worth at least an Oscar already (for The Gladiator, The Master, Inherent Vice and so on). But his Joker will be taught in film schools. You don't see such a performance too often or never see one.
On the other hand, about the film, it's a standalone movie but if you know the Batman Universe you understand small details better.
If you want to see one film this year this should be the one (and The Irishman, of course :-) ).
