Adam Resurrected
Series: Film Comment Selects [2009]
Director: Paul Schrader, Country: Germany/USA/Israel; Release: 2008, Runtime: 106

“Paul Schrader’s latest film deals with an individual tormented by memories of horrific violence. Like Mishma, it jumps boldly through time, mixing sordid reality and stylized, sexually charged fantasy. What’s new and startling in Adam is its black comedy, which Schrader deploys in an attempt to overturn every sentimental platitude established in the Holocaust-movie genre. Adam Steiner (Jeff Goldblum), the film’s clown-victim-hero, is a concentration-camp survivor being treated in an Israeli mental institution. His incisive, manipulative intelligence and uncontrollable sexual hunger keep us wondering: Who’s running the asylum? Noah Stollman adapts Yoram Kaniuk’s celebrated 1971 novel and Goldblum, with fine support from Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi, and Ayelet Zurer, gives the performance of a lifetime, reveling in every twist and quirk of Adam’s character.”—Larry Gross, Telluride Film Festival
