Venice: Joaquin Phoenix delivers strong Oscar buzz as evil turn in new portrait of Joker
The three-time Academy Award nominated actor takes a very dark turn in the DC Comics origin story. has finally arrived. The three-time Academy Award nominated actor stars in the DC Comics origins story, which has its world premiere in Venice.
Phoenix lost 52 pounds for the part, fully inhabiting his own version of the character which first appeared in the original comic in 1940. Losing weight in such a short time helped Phoenix get in character. "It turns out that affects your psychology. You start to go mad," he said. Phillips also gave him a blank journal/joke book which helped him uncover his character as he began to fill in the pages, with words and images that are seen in the film.
"He’s so hard to define and you don’t really want to define him," said Phoenix, saying he shied away from giving him any kind of recognizable mental health diagnosis. "We would get close at times where I found that I would identify certain parts of his personality or his motivation and then I would back away from that because I wanted there to be a mystery to the character."
Phoenix also went in-depth in how he developed his signature laugh for the role, saying it needed to be "something that’s almost painful. I think for Joker it’s a part of him that wants to emerge. I think we all kind of assume what a Joker laugh is and it felt like a new, fresh way of looking at it."
