Adapted from the novel, ADAM RESURRECTED is a searing journey through the post-WWII psyche that illuminates the indistinct lines between freedom and captivity, truth and artifice, tragedy and comedy. At the center of the story is Adam Stein, once a popular German cabaret star who now, in the early 1960s, is living in a very different kind of three-ring circus: an experimental insane asylum in the Negev Desert in Israel. Brilliant, manipulative, exquisitely talented and exuberantly free-spirited, Adam outsmarts his doctor, rebelliously leads his fellow patients, philanders with the institutionʼs ravishing nurse and resists all attempts at a cure. But when Adam encounters a young boy, it sparks powerful memories of the events that shattered Adam when his own identity was blurred by a Nazi commandant.

Schrader dark. Some trouble interpreting dialogue...could have used subtitles with some of those accents. The burning bush scene and dog boy coming to Adam seemed hokey in lieu of the rest of the story but realize important to carry theme (and based upon book). Not sure how it could have been corrected, perhaps just the boy's voice calling to him?

This movie will haunt me. It was both painful and funny and made me feel a little crazy just watching it. Jeff Goldblum is one of the great actors of our time.

The kind of film that film festivals are for--great for a Jewish film festival. Smart, thought-provoking, odd, funny....
