衝擊奧斯卡!DC 獨立電影《Joker》屢獲國際影展好評認證
極高水準的電影成就!

DC 最新獨立《Joker》起源電影,由 Joaquin Phoenix 飾演,劇本則由導演 Todd Phillips 與 Scott Silver 共同編寫,故事將聚焦在 80 年代由 Joaquin Phoenix 飾演的 Arthur Fleck 身上,並探討他是如何成為 DC Comics 裡著名反派之一。早前已確定本片為限制級規格,更不會依隨漫畫情節,而近期《Joker》將巡迴參加各大國際影展,宣傳的方式並不像過往大家熟悉的英雄大片,而是將其設定為一部足以衝擊奧斯卡的英雄劇情片,而這份野心也在近期成功將聲量累積起來。
根據多倫多國際電影節(TIFF)已觀看《Joker》的本單位藝術總監 Cameron Bailey 表示:《Joker》表現得太棒了,對於小丑這個角色與原作漫畫來說,它擁有一個非常原創的敘述表現。並提及本部片精彩重現了 70-80 年代故事背景,並將 Martin Scorsese 的作品風格引入,加上 Joaquin Phoenix 的傑出表現,無疑有競爭各大影展與奧斯卡的潛力。對應早前威尼斯影展的老闆 Alberto Barbera 直呼《Joker》絕對能衝擊奧斯卡的言論,大家都不應該忽視這部 DC 最新大作。
First of all it’s terrific. So it should play on our largest stage. But it’s a really original take on comic book movies and on the Joker character in particular. It’s not based on an existing story, it has one of the greatest actors in modern cinema, Joaquin Phoenix, in the lead, and Robert De Niro is in it as well, one of the best actors that has ever lived. But it has an interesting tone and approach to it. It’s set in the late ’70s, early ’80s and it feels like it was made then. It’s gritty in its look. It has references to Martin Scorsese’s filmmaking and it feels like a cinematic achievement on a high level. Although it’s working with very populist material, it has great ambition. That’s why it’s a Gala.
