Looking forward to this. :up: |
Re: Woody Allen's Irrational Man
After making movies for over forty years, it's good to see Woody Allen try out something completely different with the tale of a middle-aged, extremely neurotic creative type who falls for someone considerably younger than himself.

Re: Woody Allen's Irrational Man
This looks worse than Allen's recent usual, which isn't very good to begin with. I still can't help but see Joaquin Phoenix as Joaquin Phoenix in every role he's in, even here when he's playing Woody Allen. That's not necessarily a bad quality, John Wayne is always John Wayne, but I don't like it on Phoenix

Re: Woody Allen's Irrational Man
Doesn't look particularly exciting to me either. I know people here love Phoenix and I think he's great in some roles, but I don't think he looks anything great here either, usual story/characters + his recent yellow tint. I'll give it a go but I didn't like Blue Jasmine that much. I'm not one of these people who hates Allen, I actually like him and some of his films a lot :D

Re: Woody Allen's Irrational Man
That's the film I'm most anticipating this year. One of my favorite director doing a movie with a main character that is a philosophy teacher (which is my future job I hope) Phoenix is a very good actor, I can't wait for it.

His recent films also have the look of a polished TV movie rather than a filmmaker who's been working for decades. I don't think he's progressed stylistically in decades |
Re: Woody Allen's Irrational Man
Ah, he looks to be back on track after the disappointing Magic in the Moonlight. This film looks excellent, looking forwards to it.

I liked Irrational Man despite a central character with a really questionable moral compass, though this isn't exactly virgin territory with Woody.
