A beautiful, haunting portrayal of an infamous clown

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2019)

Best associated with anarchy and uncontrollable chaos, the film takes you through a twisted series of events that propel a man on the verge of insanity, to jump off this steep pinnacle with glee.
Here, the titular protagonist isn't heralded or framed as a solution, but rather as a deadly consequence of an ignorant society, that nearly drove itself insane in the process.
Diagnosed as heavily demented and severely mentally disordered, Joker is a film that'll have you laughing at the wrong moments, where comedy is used as a means of destruction, promoting stress rather than relieving it.
Blurring the canonical line between fantasy and reality, it is a careless and mesmerizing descent into madness.
