Irrational Man

Irrational Man (2015) is Woody Allen's dark comedy-drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Abe Lucas, a burnt-out philosophy professor, takes a summer teaching job at a small New England college. He has stopped believing in anything.

Joaquin Phoenix plays Abe as a drinker who lectures on the meaning of life while seeing none in his own. Two women orbit him: Rita (Parker Posey), a colleague trapped in a dull marriage, and Jill, his sharpest student, played by Emma Stone. Then Abe overhears a stranger's conversation in a diner. Suddenly he has a purpose. He decides to do something cold, deliberate, and entirely insane.

Allen turns talk of Kant and Dostoevsky into a near-thriller about how a clever idea can justify almost anything. Light jazz, easy dialogue, a moral drop right under your feet. Stream Irrational Man (2015) online on iFILM.
