Joker: Folie à Deux (directed by Todd Phillips) reunites Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in a psychological drama combining romance, violence and madness. Available on VOD from January 30, 2025.

Following the phenomenal success of Joker in 2019, Todd Phillips returns with a highly anticipated sequel: Joker: Folie à Deux. This dramatic film explores the complex relationship between Arthur Fleck (played by Joaquin Phœnix) and Harleen Quinzel, played by Lady Gaga. The director offers an even darker dive into the character's world, this time blending elements of romance and musical comedy. With a star-studded cast including Brendan Gleeson, this second opus promises to surprise viewers with an atypical blend of genres.

Where and when can you see Joker: Folie À Deux in France?

Joker : Folie À Deux is available to buy on VOD from January 30, 2025 , and to rent from February 12, 2025.

Synopsis: A few days before his trial for crimes committed in the guise of the Joker, Arthur Fleck meets true love and finds himself drawn into a folie à deux.

Fans of psychological dramas, dark romances and complex characters like the Joker will undoubtedly be drawn to this feature film. Those who have enjoyed films such as Birds of Prey or Black Swan may also be seduced by Todd Phillips' intense, stylized universe. The addition of a musical dimension thanks to Lady Gaga promises a novel experience, which could appeal to those who appreciate experimental works.

By combining the iconic Joker with an unstructured romance and musical comedy elements, Joker: Folie à Deux seems to stand out for its innovative approach. This artistic choice could, however, confuse viewers expecting a more traditional or exclusively action-oriented film.

This sequel is inspired by classic musical films, while retaining a heavy, melancholy atmosphere. The film is directed by Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver, the duo behind the first opus. Joaquin Phœnix, who won an Oscar for his role in 2019, shares the screen this time with Lady Gaga, whose interpretation of Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, has raised many expectations.

Joker: Folie à Deux promises to be an ambitious work, exploring the tormented psyche of its main characters while shaking up the codes of the genre. Carried by two renowned actors, this film could mark a new stage in the world of comic book adaptations for the big screen. With its meticulous aesthetics and impressive cast, it will appeal to both curious moviegoers and fans of poignant storytelling.
