Think of the delicious new movie \u201cCruella\u201d as the \u201cJoker\u201d of Disney.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like the pitch-black Joaquin Phoenix film, it explains the origins and psychology of an infamous villain \u2014 this time, Cruella de Vil from \u201c101 Dalmatians.\u201d How can we possibly come to understand and like a person who\u2019s best known for plotting to skin adorable puppies and sew them into a coat? Who a lyric once described as \u201clike a spider waiting for the kill?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually quite easy, because the wondrous Emma Stone plays her.<\/p>\n

The two-toned villainess wasn\u2019t always Cruella, though. She was born Estella \u2014 with all-natural black-and-white hair \u2014 to a struggling single mom in Britain. A menace at school, teenaged Estella tells her mother she dreams of going to London to become a fashion designer, and so off they go to start a new life. But on the way, Mom gets killed under strange circumstances at a party (it really earns its PG-13 rating) and the orphaned Estella runs to the city alone. (The movie, in theaters Friday, is also available to stream on Disney+<\/a> for $30.)<\/p>\n

That horrific introduction gives director Craig Gillespie\u2019s twisty movie real gravitas, harking back to the heroes of \u201cOliver Twist\u201d or \u201cHarry Potter.\u201d Estella\u2019s early trauma and loneliness makes her a smart cookie with an axe to grind. And grind she does.<\/p>\n

Arriving in edgy 1970s London, she teams up with pickpockets and eventual henchmen Horace (Paul Walter Hauser) and Jasper (Joel Fry), and through a series<\/a> of mistakes, winds up working with a frigid fashion designer known as the Baroness (Emma Thompson, dry as kindling). It\u2019s at that ritzy house that Estella\u2019s sinister alter ego is born.<\/p>\n

\"Emma
By day, Cruella is plain old Estella, a low-level employee for a fashion designer called The Baroness. <\/figcaption>

This film is so sexy and cool and punk rock, you forget all about that Mickey logo and Cinderella\u2019s cutesy castle. Cruella starts out as a Banksy of fashion; a mysterious vixen who crashes glamorous society parties and causes a stir with stylish stunts. My favorite: She tumbles out of a garbage truck onto a red carpet and then, when it drives away, the trash becomes the long train of her dress. All of the production design is just as witty and dirty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thank God the entrancing Stone doesn\u2019t fall into the same trap Glenn Close did in the 1996 live-action \u201c101 Dalmatians\u201d remake in which she was more outlandish and cartoony than the damn cartoon. Stone finds the fabulousness in spewing venomous insults while wearing couture and calling everybody \u201cdaaaarling.\u201d Her transition from nice girl into Cruella de Vil is magic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In \u201cCruella,\u201d we learn the harrowing \u2014 and fabulous \u2014 backstory of the Disney villain Cruella de Vil (Emma Stone).<\/figcaption>

But know this: \u201cCruella\u201d is also like \u201cJoker\u201d in another way \u2014 it doesn\u2019t perfectly fit into what came before.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t waste your time trying to connect the dots \u2014 hardy har har \u2014 to \u201c101 Dalmatians,\u201d because this movie is not so much a prequel as a distant relative. For instance, Cruella was not a fashion designer in the cartoon and Anita Darling wasn\u2019t a news<\/a>paper writer. \u201c101 Dalmatians\u201d did not take place in the \u201870s because the \u201870s hadn\u2019t happ<\/a>ened yet. Also, the Dalmatians in this flick are total A-holes.<\/p>\n

Enjoy \u201cCruella\u201d as a decadent and exhilarating standalone, daaaarling.\u00a0\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
