This is NOT a superhero movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2019)

Because it would be incredibily superficial to describe this movie only as that. Rather, this is an inquiry on heroism and morality, through a majestic yet extremely dark representation of the excesses of modern society. Every minute passing on screen is a constant descent in the crazy psychological downfall of the main cast.
Sadly, it's impossible to talk about this movie without mentioning Heath Ledger's diabolically fascinating performance, which naturally directs the viewer's attention to every single line, subtle gestures, and more and more intriguing moral questions coming from his interpretation of the Joker, rightly regarded as one of the best performances in history.
From a technical standpoint, there is really nothing to complain about. Christopher Nolan's sfillful work captures the viewer with neo-noir cinematography at the limit of one's suspension of disbelief, expertly balancing on that boundary thanks to a perfectly paced progression.
Hans Zimmer does not need any complex comment at all. His work is perfect.
