To celebrate the Halloween season, we are resurrecting some of our favorite hero, villain and horror episodes from our “Anatomy of a Scene” series. Narrating this scene from the 2019 film “Joker.” Todd Phillips, the director, describes how the Joker is brought to life through a bit of improvisation by the actor Joaquin Phoenix. “Anatomy of a Scene” is a long-running New York Times video series where film directors reveal the secrets of making movies. #joker #toddphillips #joaquinphoenix #gothamcity #halloween #movietok #filmtok #film #anatomyofascene
