In Ari Aster’s dark comedy, Joaquin Phoenix plays the sheriff of a New Mexico town riven by political clashes and pandemic anxieties.

Happening during Ted's re-election campaign, Joe decides to combat Ted by running against him. At home, Joe lives with his stunted wife Louise (Emma Stone), who passes time by painting odd-looking dolls, and his conspiracy theorist mother-in-law, Dawn (Deirdre O'Connell).

Located in a fictional small town in New Mexico, the film centers around the lives of the townspeople during the thick of the pandemic. At the epicenter of it all is the budding rivalry between two of the town’s most prominent leaders: Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal),

The Oscar-winning 'Joker' actor discusses the western-noir dark comedy and why his search for inspiration was "an act of desperation."
