Mystery?


Why is the genre listed as Mystery?

reply

I really don't know....but I'm sure it's wrong.

reply

Yeah, I agree. You'd think someone at IMDb would have changed it, especially with all of the press this movie is getting (at least - compared to last year's "Magic in the Moonlight").

reply

There is no 'Mystery' this is a fairly good black comedy.

reply

Actually some are guessing it is a mystery, but they are trying to keep it as a surprise, and that why the trailer was so straight forward.

reply

From what I've read, it is a murder mystery



"a malcontent who knows how to spell"


reply

Intersting.... Maybe that's what they heard going on at the table behind them in the trailer.

reply

There have been rumors about the film being a murder mystery. If that's true, than I'm definetly excited for this film. If not... meh.


Shut the door. Have a seat.

I think the will of life of the professor isn't about being in love wtih a young woman at all. I think it has to do with something we just didn't see in the trailer. I hope so. I'm excited about Cannes, can't wait what the first people will say.

Oh, I dare. I dare!

(Of course, it would be nice to know what I was daring to do.)

Welp, reviews came in and it's a murder

In "Irrational Man,"Joaquin Phoenix plays a mysterious philosophy professor who murders a stranger for ethically dubious reasons -

I don't know but there appear to be a lot of spoilers in the comments. I've been in here for 90 seconds at most and have seen more than a few. Too bad.

reply

im convinced this trailer is intentionally bland... they used what they could without giving anything away to put together the trailer and hid the rest of the plot like they did in midnight in paris

woody's films often have twists and turns and i don't think this is just about these two people walking around campus talking...

plus the head of cannes film festival tried talking woody into submitting it for competition which everyone knows he hates... that tells me there's something special about this

we will know soon enough

reply

Agreed. The trailer for Blue Jasmine was also quite vague. And remember the impact Match Point had when it was unveiled at Cannes with very little fanfare?

reply

Match Point was so fantastic. Definetly my on top 3 Woody Allen films.

How *beep* dare you

reply

Oh, I dare. I dare!

(Of course, it would be nice to know what I was daring to do.)

reply

Yeah, some big event happens and it changes Joaquin's outlook or something and Emma tags along. That's why I think the trailers are also not really saying much

reply

To me the mystery is why he cast Emma Stone again. She was the weak link in his last movie.

reply

Because it is one? (Clue: The mystery isn't "who done it?")

reply

The mystery is why Woody would go back to the same old tiresome themes after making "Midnight in Paris" and "Blue Jasmine," which were wonderful movies.

reply

It is just a mystery.
