But it’s not all about the love story; the Venice Film Festival's chief Alberto Barbera expressed his excitement, declaring 'Joker 2' as one of the festival's standout features. Joining Phoenix and Gaga in the spotlight, filmmakers like Pedro Almodóvar and Luca Guadagnino are also set to debut their latest works. This lineup promises to deliver an eclectic mix of drama, music, and art that will delight film enthusiasts.
