Joker Filmyzilla ((top))
: The film is a "slow burn," focused on building tension and character depth through mystery and sporadic violence rather than non-stop action. Joker - Movie Review
The film is visually stunning. Cinematographer Lawrence Sher paints Gotham City (essentially a stand-in for 1980s New York) as a dirty, garbage-strewn, neon-lit dystopia. The color palette is drenched in sickly greens and yellows, contrasting with the bright red of Arthur’s suit. The camera work is intimate, often focusing tight on Arthur’s face, forcing the audience to confront his pain. Joker Filmyzilla
