    Irrational Man

    Reviewed by

    I love Woody Allen films generally speaking. A few have been mighty clunkers and I'm afraid this is one of them. I don't think I'm being irrational in stating that all this existential business is nothing but a load of crap. Take it from me! I teach existentialism in my French courses at the U. And to have the same pretentious plot shoved down our throats yet again is total stupidity on Woody Allen's part. I'm very befuddled by this very unimaginative, predictable film... precisely because it comes from Allen. As we get one Woody flick per year, better luck next year!

    Your line "I teach existentialism" gave me a big chuckle. It sounds like it was kidnapped from the Marshall McLuhan scene in Annie Hall. That's OK. You write great reviews. I may have read them all.

    Thank you! That's very generous of you. I've had to curtail the length of my reviews of late as it was all too time consuming. With OCD, one is always driven to a never ending amount of material one wants to write or publish. I write a great deal on opera and ballet with the movies coming back as a major interest as of the last few years. And this doesn't even cover my field of 17th century French Lit. Which is almost a daily concern especially during the long hiatus from the end of April to September. Regarding existentialism, trust me, teaching it as a philosophical system is one thing, but the students view it as nothing but bunk. They almost have me convinced of that!
