Joaquim Phoenix's "Night of the hunter"

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2019)

If you like Robert Mitchum in "Night of the hunter", "Joker" is for you. Like Mitch, Joaquim Phoenix is a deranged character with no real purpose in life, just auto destructing. The omnipresent Joaquim Phoenix is really frightening with his skeleton silhouette, he is a tragic loser because of stupid people humiliating his weakness, he becomes sick and gets revenge, and finally his madness becomes infectious. He reminds me of the pathetic punk singer in Todd's Phillips first movie, the documentary "Hated". "Joker" is definitely not a movie for children.

In one of the chaotic last sequence, you can hear "White room" by cult group Cream, whose fabulous drummer died one month ago.
