Hollywood writer-director Paul Schrader says he couldn’t survive Joker: Folie a Deux<\/i> for more than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Taxi Driver<\/i> scriptwriter said the sequel, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and directed by Todd Phillips, was a really bad musical.<\/p>\n

The film, a sequel to the 2019 movie, has received negative reviews and stands to lose between USD 150 million to USD 200 million at the box office, according to Variety.<\/p>\n

Schrader’s Taxi Driver<\/i> reportedly served as an inspiration for the first part of the movie, based on the eponymous DC Comics villain.<\/p>\n

When Jeremy O Harris of the Interview magazine asked Schrader what he had seen recently, the filmmaker said, “I see who\u2019s coming up. I go to the multiplex. I saw ‘Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux’.<\/p>\n

“I saw about 10 or 15 minutes of it. I left, bought something, came back, saw another 10 minutes. That was enough.” Harris asked the filmmaker whether he had seen “Emilia Perez”, Schrader said he had missed it at Cannes.<\/p>\n

Schrader once again recalled his experience of “Joker 2” when Harris proclaimed that he loved musicals.<\/p>\n

“Well, that\u2019s what Joker is, kind of. It\u2019s a really bad musical,” the writer-director replied.<\/p>\n

Harris asked him what made the film so bad for Schrader, to which the director replied, “I don\u2019t like either of those people. I don\u2019t like them as actors. I don\u2019t like them as characters. I don\u2019t like the whole thing. I mean, those are people who, if they came to your house, you\u2019d slip out the back door.\u201d <\/p>\n

There was a lot of buzz around Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/i> due to the massive business the previous film had done by earning USD 1 billion at the box office.<\/p>\n

It also won Phoenix the Oscar for best actor but the sequel received negative reviews right after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The sequel also opened to a dismal USD 37 million at the ticket window. <\/p>\n
