6. The Joker
Joaquin Phoenix is beyond normal. And what he does in this
movie, one of the best of the year, is a wild one. The film about the origins
of the most famous villain of Batman shines with its own light as a portrait of
a time of social unrest where we are willing to throw ourselves into chaos in
order to change the situation. The class struggle, the lack of help from the
most vulnerable and the mockery of those who are different are present in this
film. Todd Phillips (Hangover Las Vegas) signs a character study so subjective,
poetic and controversial that it will resonate from here to the 2020 Oscars
(and beyond).
