IRRATIONAL MAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sony Pictures Classics<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya. Databased on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong>
\nGrade: A-<\/strong>
\nDirector: Woody Allen<\/strong>
\nScreenwriter:\u00a0 Woody Allen<\/strong>
\nCast:\u00a0 Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Parker Posey<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Sony, NYC, 6\/18\/15<\/strong>
\nOpens:\u00a0 July 17, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many excuses that defendants have for committing murder, and the typical judge in criminal court must have heard \u2018em all.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cTwinkies made me do it\u201d (Dan White); \u201cThe Devil made me do it\u201d (Adam and Eve); \u201cI stood my ground\u201d (George Zimmerman); \u201cI feared for my life\u201d (Officer Darren Wilson); \u201cThey were making too much noise\u201d (Michael David Dunn); \u201cI was sexually molested\u201d (Lorie Hino-Boddie). \u201cI was drunk;\u201d \u201cI was drugged;\u201d \u201cI had a bad childhood;\u201d \u201cI was high;\u201d \u201cI was low.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one the judges hadn\u2019t heard.\u00a0 \u201cJean-Paul Sartre made me do it.\u201d\u00a0 Not just Sartre.\u00a0 He had accomplices like Heidigger and Kant and the whole school of existentialists.\u00a0 Throw in Dostoevsky as well.\u00a0 Woody Allen, who wrote and directed this, his forty-fifth film, does not accuse Sartre directly.\u00a0 It\u2019s nothing personal.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that some writers and thinkers who earn their fame and income from words say that you are defined not by what you think or what you say or what you write, but by your actions.\u00a0 You act and therefore you are.<\/p>\n

And who would take these thinkers more seriously than Abe Lucas (Joaquin Phoenix), a new member of the philosophy department at Rhode Island\u2019s fictional Braylin College (filmed by Darius Khondji at Salve Regina University in Newport).\u00a0 Lucas was preceded by his reputation as a ladies\u2019 man whose wife allegedly left him for his best friend and who had witnessed horrors like watching a pal get blown up in Iraq from a land mine and who went to Darfur and also to post-Katrina New Orleans only to conclude that he accomplished nothing.\u00a0 Having abandoned hope to save anyone, he gave up on life, sipping regularly from his hip flask and walking throughout much of the film in an alcoholic haze.\u00a0 Not that this prevents him from gaining the affection of students in his Ethical Strategies class, particularly pretty Jill Pollard (Emma Stone), and from faculty members like Rita Richards (Parker Posey in her signature nutty vibes).\u00a0 Rita throws herself at him, while Jill, temporarily ignoring the love of her boyfriend Roy (Jamie Blackley), is head over heels for the professor and tries mightily to get him to bed her.<\/p>\n

If Abe keeps both women at arms\u2019 length it\u2019s not that he finds them unattractive.\u00a0 Since discovering that the world seems not to need him, that his is powerless to make change, he has become temporarily impotent and understands that the problem is strictly psychological.\u00a0 But circumstances change in a diner when he and Jill overhear people at the next table. A woman is frustrated that her estranged husband may be granted full custody of their children thanks to a corrupt judge named Spangler (Tom Kemp), a 61-year-old who follows the same pattern each week.\u00a0 Once a week he plays Bridge with the fellows, and on Saturdays he jogs in the park, then sits down with an orange juice and a newspaper.\u00a0 Stalking the judge, Abe plans to murder him.\u00a0 He is now finally committed to an action that could succeed, a perfect murder that will help a stranger, a plan that invigorates him, cures his sexual problem with both women, and enables him to get a big breakfast of French Toast and bacon instead of just coffee.\u00a0\u00a0 He loses his intellectual block and chooses an existential act which despite its repugnance to society does a world of good for the college teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cIrrational Man\u201d does not have any of the magic realism of the wonderful \u201cMidnight in Paris,\u201d which like this film has dialogue that conjures up names of celebrated figures of the past.\u00a0 But it\u2019s an easy match in crime fiction for \u201cCrimes and Misdemeanors\u201d (a mistress threatens to reveal their affair to the man\u2019s wife) and can be seen as a reflection on the director\u2019s fear of mortality.\u00a0 Light moments exist throughout, particularly when Parker Posey comes on to the professor, and acting talent on exhibit in marvelous.\u00a0 Emma Stone, fresh from her role as Sophie in \u201cMagic in the Moonlight,\u201d about an Englishman called in to unmask a charlatan, is incredibly charming as a student in love with her much older teacher now serving as his confidante, while Joaquin Phoenix is ideal as a man who for half the movie is dead from the next down and who finds meaning in life only when he contemplates murder.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 94 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
