Woody Allen‘s Irrational Man didn’t exactly land with a thud with the Cannes crowd when it premiered a couple weeks ago, but it definitely didn’t inspire a wealth of positive reviews as “minor Woody” seemed to be more the battle cry than anything else. It’s unfortunate because I can’t say it doesn’t affect my anticipation in seeing it, but perhaps lowered expectations are a good thing as few films can rarely live up to what we want them to be in our heads.
Today the first poster for the movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Parker Posey and Jamie Blakely has arrived featuring Phoenix front and center as the titular character, a philosophy professor dealing with an existential crisis as he gives his life new purpose by entering into a relationship with one of his students (Stone).
The movie is heading to theaters on July 17, check out the poster below.
