This is edge-of-your-seat stuff. This is outstanding.”Meanwhile, Ridley Scott recently criticised the movie for “the way it celebrated violence”.
He explained in a new interview that while he was impressed by the performance, he wasn’t the biggest fan of the film as a whole.“I was blown away by his outrageous film Joker,” the filmmaker told Deadline. “I didn’t like the way it celebrated violence but Joaquin was remarkable.”Despite that, Scott previously spoke about being inspired to hire Phoenix off the back of his Joker performance for Napoleon, telling Empire: “I’m staring at Joaquin and saying, ‘This little demon is Napoleon Bonaparte.’ He looks like him.”Elsewhere, Guðnadóttir, who is also composing the sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, also teased that it might be more of a musical than anticipated.“All I can say is there is going to be a lot of music,” Guðnadóttir said. “That’s all I can give away.”Phoenix returns as Arthur Fleck, alongside Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
