A piece of cinematographic art

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2019)

At the moment I could not remember other recent movies that convey a message so powerfully and so painfully. A complex but sharp and visceral message, brought first and foremost by the impressive Joaquin Phoenix performance and by the merciless script. The choice of musical themes and of a eighties-looking Gotham highlight instead of shading the ties to our contemporaneity. And there is more, even political and personal, for the attentive viewer.
