Irrational Man

In one of the most successfully light-hearted moments of his filmography, Woody Allen deftly blends his existential angst and love of Dostoevsky with comedy and his ironically cynical worldview, with the help of an ideal cast of Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone.

Synopsis

In a small college town, a philosophy professor going through a profound existential crisis temporarily finds new meaning in his life when he begins a love affair with one of his female students, until the moment he decides to make a shocking choice.
