Quentin Tarantino loved Joaquin Phoenix Joaquin 2 and the performance
Will you agree with the filmmaker, tonight on Canal +?
Very largely rejected by criticism and the public since its release in theaters (and even its presentation in Venice), Joker: Folia with two found an unexpected ally last October. We republit the positive opinion of Quentin Tarantino While waiting for its first broadcast on television: in encrypted this Friday evening on Canal+. Before him, there was hardly only Francis Ford Coppola who had publicly supported Todd Phillips’s film, which looked a little like a kiss of death, Joker 2 resuming Megalopolis the title of “Worse movie” from the start of the cinema.

Another illustrious filmmaker therefore came to the rescue of the continuation of Joker :: Quentin Tarantino Speed in the Bret Easton Ellis podcast (via Variety). Always ready to take the opposite view from popular opinion, the director defended the blockbuster which is now a confirmed flop: out of the American top 10, he just exceeded the 200 million revenues worldwide, against more than a billion for the Joker from 2019, at the time of this interview with the director of pulp Fiction.
“”I really, really liked it. A lot. Like, a lot, and I went to see him hoping to be impressed by his realization. But I thought it would be an intellectual exercise that ultimately would not work as a film for me, but that I would appreciate for what it is. And I am quite nihilist to appreciate a film of this kind, almost messy. In fact I did not find that it was intellectual. I really got into it. I loved musical sequences. The more trivial the songs, the better they were. I found myself listening to the lyrics of ‘For Once in My Life’ in a completely unprecedented way.“”
In short, Tarantino loves Joker: Folia with two For all the reasons why the majority of the press and spectators hate it. And there has also been a successful variation in Killers born From Oliver Stone (with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as a bloodthirsty couple traveling America), whose scenario he had signed (or at least his first version).
“”As much as the first was indebted to Driver taxithis one seems to be based on Killers bornthat I wrote. It is the killers born that I would have dreamed of seeing. As a creator of Mickey and Mallory, I loved what they are doing. I loved the direction taken, the whole film is like a feverish dream of Mickey Knox.“”
Tarantino explains that he saw the film in an almost empty imax room and laughed a lot without disturbing anyone (“I know I laugh in front of scenes that don’t make others laugh“). And he also rents the performance of Joaquin Phoenix,”One of the best performances I saw in my life in a movie“. Just that.

QT was also seduced by Two madness As a gesture, and there it is in Todd Phillips that he braid laurels:
“”The Joker made this film. The whole concept, the fact that he spent the studio money like that, is that the joker would have done, okay? And he takes out this big surprise gift, it’s the rabbit that comes out of the hat, he serves your hand and you take a discharge of 10,000 volts. He sends all fans of comic books. He sends the film of the film. He sends Hollywood, all DC and Warner Bros. Todd Phillips is the Joker.“”
