Two of the most awarded films in 2019, Todd Philipps' Joker and Bong Joon-ho's Parasites, are about the city. Both start from a certain vision of the city as an exterior landscape to come to show the existence of an agglomeration that affects the inner life of the citizens. It shows a city where mental imbalances destabilize human relations, but also as a space of tension. Critics referred to them as two films that speak of revolt and citizen unrest, even using the concept of class struggle to define the way they show the imbalances between the powerful and the disinherited of society. This article analyses the urban tensions depicted in both films by starting from the concept of infrapolitics, understood as something that arises from the failure of all interrogation, of all ethical demands on politics. It is something that stems from the human need for self-revelation, without purpose or calculation. The subversion that both films explore does not aim to transform society but to generate a noise that serves to highlight how the new metropolises are also a space for marginalisation and mental alteration ​
