It's unprecendented. It's the highest prize at the Venice Film Festival and it's very rarely given to a Hollywood production, let alone a superhero movie. What this means? That 'Joker' is probably pretty fucking good and likely very different from other superhero movies. Might also mean it'll resonate more in Europe.
How exciting! I think I am now interested again since some said the last trailer was not very exciting. But it wouldn't be the first time I was surprised. I had no big hopes for Blade Runner 2 but once I saw the movie I really liked it.
