WORK – The waltz of a psychotic clown
Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up actor, was attacked as he wandered the streets of Gotham disguised as a clown. Mesmerized by all and flouted, he gradually turns into the madness to become the Joker, a dangerous psychotic killer...
No more laughter, DC found his masterpiece in this real movie lesson... A great dramatic work transcended by a Joaquin Phoenix in the skin of a psychopath Joker, herald of the social violence of an era.
IMAGE – The mirror of a society in crisis
The visual power of the work is transcended by an extremely detailed 4K Dolby Vision transfer to the falsely silveric texture of an absolute refinement, with somewhat unsaturated colours and more flamboyant lighting.
SON – No more laughing
One « madness » sound that overflows at every moment thanks to a 3D mixing (dTS-HD MA soundtrack not tested) at the welcome sobriety where urban atmospheres spread sneakyly in the spherical space and where the score really has a lot of weight.
CONCLUSION – Very Mad Trip
What better than a technically unattackable 4K Ultra HD to accompany this inexorable fall into madness?
