  • Joker: Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir & Director of Photography Lawrence Sher Interview
    I don't think a lot of people predicted that Todd Phillips' Joker would become the first R-Rated movie to pass one billion dollars at the worldwide box office. While everyone knew the film would do well after the thunderous reviews came out of the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, what Joker has done around the world is nothing short of a monumental achievement. And while almost all the praise ends up on Joaquin Phoenix’s shoulders due to his Oscar worthy performance, making any movie is a team effort, especially when talking about the music and cinematography.
    Like all of you, when I first saw Joker I was blown away by composer Hildur Guðnadóttir’s brilliant score and director of photography Larry Sher’s fantastic cinematography. The way the music plays over Phoenix’s mesmerizing performance, and how Sher captured his spontaneous approach to the character, had me on the edge of my seat. Both of them brought their A-game to the film and they’re part of the reason the movie has broken all sorts of records.
    As a big fan of both of their work, I was extremely happy when they came by the Collider studio for an extended interview on the making of Joker. They talked about the massive worldwide success, how the project came together, the way Guðnadóttir came up with the music and how they used it on set when filming, if they think the events in the film actually happened, deleted scenes, filming the ending, what it’s like trying to film an actor who likes to improvise, and so much more.

  • @ureallysuckglobes
    @ureallysuckglobes 4 года назад +20

    Joaquin rightfully gets recognized for carrying the acting on his shoulders but the score and cinematography really took it to the next level too.
    They succeeded in capturing the grimy late 70s/early 80s “Gotham” feel and the isolated, claustrophobic nature of Arthur’s life. A shot that always comes back to me is Arthur backstage at the Murray show watching himself be mocked yet again for what he believes is the last time. The colors in that scene were fantastic.
    And the score was everything Arthur was. Dark, haunting, but strangely wistful, twistedly triumphant. I love how the main Call Me Joker song ends with the simple melancholy notes of the bathroom song. Reminding us of the painful nature of the character and his transformation even while he’s finally having his grand moment.

    Not to be disminishing the photo director (who made a FANTASTIC JOB TOO) but I think Joker caused so much impact because of Joaquin's performance and Hildur's score. I mean, it's haunting, unsettling, disturbing, powerful and intense. At some point it becomes epic, bosterous and agressive. Gave the film the proper tone to make it even better.
    If they had used only Sinatras' or any rock 70s, 80s songs it would have made the movie look as a mockery to violence in society, cynic and sarcastic and even darkly funny as a Tarantino film. But no, the score changed the tone

Contrast that with 2005's La Mustache which is about a character who is just as confused as we are the whole time, the audience isn't waiting until the end to find out shit's crazy, the movie is about the feeling of being crazy and living with it --- it doesn't BECOME about this only at the end, it's the lesson the entire way through.
