Can't wait for this movie.
You mentioned Joker earlier. It's going to be a Gala. Can you talk about the decision to give a comic book movie that prestigious screening slot?
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
Can't wait for this movie.
