JOKER with Panel (Film Grain Dinner & Movie)

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 - 6:00pm

2019's most controversial and polarizing film is a warning cry forcibly delivered through painfully-disturbing laughter. A film that asks for empathy, love and equality to our fellow citizens, teetering on the edge, crying out for attention.

NAMI of Erie County will be joining us for a panel discussion on mental illness following the screening.

Joker (2019) -- mentally-troubled comedian Arthur Fleck is disregarded and mistreated by society. He then embarks on a downward spiral of revolution and bloody crime. This path brings him face-to-face with his alter-ego: "The Joker". Rated R. Crime, Drama, Thriller.
Director: Todd Phillips
Stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz
