Adam Resurrected

Underwritten by Cyndi Sherman and Stephen Schleimer

This film is based on a novel by renowned Israeli author Yoram Kaniuk. It is the early 1960s in an Israeli mental hospital where all the patients are emotionally scarred Holocaust survivors.  Jeff Goldblum, in a tour de force, plays a brilliant but deeply tormented camp survivor, once a famous German nightclub performer, whose soul died as a result of the degradation that he experienced during the war.  Searing and dark, always powerful, and at times both inspiring and uplifting.  Derek Jacobi and Willem Dafoe shine as supporting players.

AUDIENCE NOTE: This is a strong film with scenes that may be difficult for some.
