Joker with the prize

The upcoming Joker film has won the prestigious Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival. The triumph will put the film in the frame for Oscar contention next year. Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character the film is in the mode of such films as Taxi Driver and King of Comedy with such comparsions being compounded by the star of those 2 films Robert de Niro having a role in Joker. The public can make their minds on Joker when it is later this year.
