This is a review of the film Joker (2019) with direction and production by Todd Phillips. The film portrays the story of an adult in distress with the path of his life and with mental health problems. The character finds it difficult to insert himself into society after a time spent in the asylum, the system does not help him and he finds himself completely alone, on the margins of society. The turnaround comes with the rise of a simple badly treated clown on the job to a clearly unbalanced villain who becomes a symbol of popular revolt against political rulers. We sought to analyze the existing mental disorders of the character Joker and the recurring criticism that the film makes to the functioning of society in relation to the mentally ill and their disorders. This is an exploratory research, based on the discussion of the theory of Psychoanalysis and its bibliographic base. Nourishing as main results the discussions about the existing mental disorders of the character and the relapse to the health system.
