A Film by Woody Allen

Abe Lucas is a philosophy professor who arrives on the campus of a small Rhode Island town in a deep funk. He is going through an existential crisis, finds no meaning in anything, and drinks too much. Despite his apathy, he catches the interest of two women on the faculty and student body, and the gaze of one of his students starts to weigh more than his indifference. Then Abe sets a new goal for his life, and that purpose leads him to get close to her. Woody Allen wrote and directed the film, and Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone star in this dramatic comedy with a touch of mystery.

Trivia about Irrational Man

The campus of Salve Regina University in Newport served as the setting for the fictional Braylin College, the university where the story takes place.

This is the last film produced by Jack Rollins, who had produced Allen's films since the late 1960s, before his death in June 2015.

The film grossed 4 million dollars in the United States and Canada, and 25.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of 29.1 million dollars.

Woody Allen had Emma Stone in mind for the role when the script was about fifteen or twenty pages in, while Joaquin Phoenix came about after a conversation with casting director Juliet Taylor.

Joaquin Phoenix gained 33 pounds, about 15 kilos, to play Abe Lucas.

Filming began on July 7, 2014 in Newport, Rhode Island, and wrapped in late August of that same year.

Sony Pictures Classics acquired the distribution rights on January 29, 2015, making the film the eighth collaboration between Woody Allen and that distributor.

The film received three nominations according to its IMDb profile, although the source consulted does not specify which awards those nominations were for.
