Fate will give poor Arthur the opportunity to fulfil some of his fantasies, but when it does, no one will laugh. Or at least anyone in his right mind.
Arthur Fleck is not having an easy life. He earns money in the streets of Gotham as a clown, but encounters a growing social ostracism, including physical violence. He tries to laugh at his miserable fate on stage, hoping to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian, but the audience, for some reason, refuses to laugh. When he returns home by public transport, he often laughs uncontrollably, and the passengers seated next to him do not understand that it is a medical condition. Only in his meagre apartment which he shares with his beloved mother who believes that her former employer, Thomas Wayne, can get them out of the hole, does Arthur Fleck feel completely himself. Especially when he watches TV programs, on which he can project his modest dreams of being a witty and appreciated successful person, making everyone smile.
The screening will be followed by a discussion.

Cycle: Comics
As the saying goes, laughter is good for your health. It is difficult to deny it, with numerous studies to prove it. We especially need it at times when reality becomes difficult and overwhelming – it helps to relieve tension and gain distance. Laughter can be loud, contagious or you can laugh through tears… They know very well how life-giving it is. Comedians, whom we are talking about, are drawn to the limelight for various reasons. Each of them has his own story and sometimes hides a completely different face behind the one presented on stage – full of doubts and complexes. They have one thing in common: charisma, diligence and an insatiable need to admire and entertain the crowds. In our April cycle you will get to know them better. “I love you anyway”, “The King of comedy”, “Joker”, “Lenny” – these are four different comedians. It’s worth taking a look at all of them. And never underestimate them – just take the example of the President of Ukraine, who hid the face of the hero under the mask of a comedian. The protagonists of our films also have more than one face and can sometimes surprise you in a spectacular way.
The project is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute.
