Lady Gaga and Todd Phillips bring ’Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Venice | AP interview

Six years after “A Star is Born,“ Lady Gaga returns to the Venice Film Festival with “Joker: Folie à Deux“ alongside Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips. She sat down with AP film writer Lindsey Bahr to talk about creating a new voice for her Lee/Harley Quinn character, writing a “waltz that falls apart“ for the film — and why it’s an “exciting time“ in pop music. Phillips shares why he chose her for the role, singing on set — and using the film to pose the question: “What is entertainment?“ #ladygaga #joker #jokerfolieàdeux #venicefilmfestival
