Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) dir. Todd Phillips, d.p. Lawrence Sher

Arguably the most breathtaking, jaw-dropping cinematography for a critical & commercial flop ever.

Here are my favorite frames.

[JT @Jtaylor0_3]

The concept of rewatching Joker 2 more than once

[prince naveen @clawveen]

Tryna figure out if a movie is good or not but everyone on letterboxd wanna be a comedian

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@bianime @ltsreallove i saw it in theaters too and thought the lighting was good. it did the job it was supposed to, both in theater and on streaming. saying you can't see shit is just objectively untrue

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@bianime @ltsreallove her face literally isnt lit on purpose. it's an intentionally done several times in the film for only nikki's character. if you cant acknowledge the fact that it's an artistic choice rather than "horrible lighting", then i just cant accept your criticism bc it's not in good faith

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@bianime @ltsreallove well, that's the point. you're not supposed to see shot 2 & 3 in bright detail. it's dimly lit for eerie and mysterious effect bc it's a horror film. but even then, you can still clearly make out the finer details like the sparkle in her eyes or the set up of the room.

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@bianime @ltsreallove i disagree. i think these are well lit shots + more

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@fr3qu3ncy13 @ltsreallove i never said it was a deep film. i literally said it knows what it can do and it knows what it can't do and it knows those things very well. my sentiment was that it doesn't try to go big or have some grand meaning. the story is very simple, but the small things are well-done.

[luca @waynesfury]

its a shame this movie sucked cause its still one of the most gorgeous looking of the year

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@missannabiller and if i said that jimmy stewart and kim novak actually gave one of the best performances of all time in vertigo?

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@ang31ia fr. this adds so many layers to the narrative for all 3 characters of oppenheimer, kitty and even jean herself

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

what’s going on in the replies calling this scene unnecessary??? it is absolutely necessary. it conveys the torment emily blunt’s character is going thru at listening to her husband describe his affair in details so vivid that it’s like she’s there watching them (hence the scene)

Florence Pugh in Oppenheimer.

@absoIute_batman it’s crazy how you’d never know that digger and primetime have the same ratings (for now) given the public reception so far🫢

[Cinembience @cinembience]

@punishednuz while i wouldn’t spoil anyone’s fun by verbalizing it first, i agree with op bc a lot of filmtwt is just recycled phrases/reactions—“floated/levitated out of my seat” becoming the most recent overused one. i feel like if you’re gonna over-exaggerate, at least be creative.

@floopdacoop @UHHHHHHHHH_MAX @_onthewayjay the real trick is telling which brother is which throughout the movie

@afewsmalbeers #braindeveloped

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@scifried one of my fav movies ever, easily one of the most impressive cinematic journeys you can go on

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@nathanrobii how many of these movies would you say apply?

[Shane @ShaneTalksFilms]

@feltoland i prefer the director’s cut more. more scenes + better songs + more time-travel lore
