    I won't say much right now having just finished it. I will however review this in detail some time in the future.

    For now I'll say that this is potentially the most unforgiving film I've ever seen. From the opening scene Florya's destiny is sealed which I just think is so horrifying. The occasional use of fairy-tale like imagery to juxtapose the absolute Hell which we are living in was absolutely haunting. There is no escape, no solace. Klimov occasionally…

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    ★★★★

    I hate to be a contrarian but I'd hate it even more if I were not to share my honest opinion so here we go.

    Joker: Folie à Deux is littered with flaws, no doubt about it. Thematically, it is mostly redundant of the first film, its overlong and very surface level in terms of how it tackles the ideas it wants to present. Also, the amount of references to the first film is absolutely ridiculous. It's almost like the…
