Score the new Woody Allen film starring Joaquin Phoenix.
From the relentlessly prolific Woody Allen comes <em>Irrational Man</em>, a wry but energetic comedy following a brilliant but tormented philosophy professor in a state of existential crisis.
When Abe (Joaquin Phoenix) arrives in a small Rhode Island town convinced his life is meaningless, pure chance changes everything when he overhears a stranger’s tale of woe at a local diner. Suddenly reinvigorated, Abe finds himself open to the affections of Rita (Parker Posey), a lonely professor who fantasises that Abe will rescue her from an unhappy marriage; and Jill (Emma Stone), a bright young student who finds his tortured personality irresistible. But as Jill and Rita begin to uncover the true cause of Abe’s newfound happiness, his perfect plan begins to unravel.
