After Heath Ledger's Joker performance the question was: Who dares to write a script about THE villain and who could even come close to the Joker we know from The Dark Knight rises?
Well, there's no spoiler in this review but let me tell you this: They don't even give you any reason to compare the Joker from this movie with the one from mentioned above.
Joaquin Phoenix not only is a super fine actor, he also portrays the emergence of the Joker in an unbelievable depth. That might be because 95% of the movie he is Artuhr Fleck and experiences some tragic stuff. At the same time we get a very close insight in his thinking, feeling and everyday life.
This movie was pure pleasure to watch although at times I gotta admit, some scenes were too long-winded. The story took me on an emotional roller coaster ride between having empathy for this guy and being disgusted.
The cinematography is top notch pitchforking Joaquin's performance to another stratosphere. I was very very impressed by this flick. At the end I just thought: I hope the sequel's coming soon.
