The Late Show: Cambridge Premiere!

Fri, Jun 7 – Sun, Jun 9

Vera Drew’s angry, psychotropic satire of superhero films, late night comedy, modern politics, gender norms, and, well, just about everything else, co-opts the iconography and imagery of Batman and the Joker to lay absolute waste to contemporary American culture… and tells a surprisingly emotional coming-of-gender story in the process.

“The People’s Joker is a self-conscious, intentional cult film, crafted with genuine love for everything in the margins. And it tells a story everyone can relate to, about a kid growing up and trying to find happiness and success in a dark, troubled world.” – Jourdain Searles, Hollywood Reporter
