What is Joker about?

During the 1980s, a failed stand-up comedian is driven insane and turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City while becoming an infamous psychopathic crime figure.

Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Silver. Based on DC Comics characters, it stars Joaquin Phoenix and provides an alternative origin story for the Joker. The film follows Arthur Fleck, a mentally ill party clown and aspiring stand-up comedian whose descent into moral nihilism inspires a violent countercultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, and Frances Conroy appear in supporting roles.

What does the cinematography of Joker look like?

Across 68 sampled frames, Joker builds its coverage from medium shots (44% of the sample), with wide compositions (21%) carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Lawrence Sher keeps 60% of it in soft, low-key light. 69% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Vintage glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 71% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in the 1980s.
