[Machine Translation] [KADOKAWA Western Selection] Woody Allen explores the absurdity and ridiculousness of life! Set in sunny Newport, New Jersey, this dark comedy depicts the fates of a middle-aged college professor and a college girl who are strangely drawn to each other as they search for the meaning of life. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. --Abe, a philosophy professor with a reputation as an extraordinary eccentric, takes a position at a university in the eastern United States. In his youth, Abe was passionate about political activities and volunteering, and traveled around the world, but now he has become a chronically lonely and lethargic person, unable to devote himself to either academics or love. One day, he happened to stop by a diner and heard a rumor about an annoying corrupt judge, and a sudden idea flashed through Abe's mind. It was a challenge to commit the perfect crime: murder the judge with his own hands, without anyone suspecting it. He discovers a strange "meaning of life," and his body and mind are immediately in high spirits, and his dark, depressing daily life begins to brighten. Meanwhile, Jill, a student of Abe's who has a crush on him, is becoming more and more infatuated with him, not knowing what is going on in his head...
