‘Joker: Folie À Deux’ receives 12-minute ovation at Venice film festival
Both Phoenix, who won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the first Joker film, and Lady Gaga, who plays Harley Quinn in the sequel, were present at the premiere. The crowd enthusiastically applauded, and shouts of “Gaga” and “Joaquin” echoed throughout the venue. While Phoenix exited the stage first, Lady Gaga stayed a bit longer, waving to the crowd alongside Phillips.
