Following the events of Joker (2019), Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) finds himself confined to Arkham State Hospital after his infamous rise as Gotham's anarchic antihero. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Harleen Quinzel (Lady Gaga), a psychiatrist who becomes fascinated by his madness. Their sessions evolve into a complex and dangerous romance, transforming Harleen into Harley Quinn, Arthur's equally unhinged partner in crime.
As the two navigate their twisted relationship, Gotham descends further into chaos, with their exploits sparking rebellion and destruction. Through striking musical sequences and intense psychological drama, Joker: Folie à Deux explores themes of love, identity, and the blurred lines between sanity and madness, all set against the gritty backdrop of a city on the brink of collapse.
The film intertwines Arthur and Harley's delusions with reality, leaving audiences questioning what's real and what's a product of their fractured minds. A haunting and visually arresting continuation of Arthur Fleck's story, Joker: Folie à Deux is as provocative as it is tragic.
