Summary: This week, we're laughing through tears in Todd Phillips' villainous thriller "Joker." Joaquin Phoenix is Arthur Fleck, a party clown who dreams of comedy stardom. Deprived and degraded by Gotham City, his ambitions take a nasty turn, transforming him into the clown prince of crime. Michael is our NYFF correspondent. Special mention goes to Pedro Almodóvar's Pain and Glory. Last Bites include Dave Navarro, Rosalía, Eckhaus Latta's Spring 2020 collection, and Succession. Original image by Attila Szarka.
