Indignation
USA 111 mins
“A film that is simultaneously erudite and emotional, literary and alive.” – Hollywood Reporter
Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman) is an atheist-identifying son of a Jewish butcher, attending a Christian college during the Koran War. While a blossoming romance with the alluring but fragile Olivia (Sarah Gadon) sparks a sexual awakening, Marcus finds his intellect and values questioned by his professors and classmates.
No stranger to book-to-film adaptations during his two-decade career as a writer and producer, legendary film industry veteran James Schamus makes his directorial debut by bringing Philip Roth’s deeply personal novel of the same name to the screen. Anchored by breakthrough performancs, Indignation eschews typical coming-of-age platitudes to present a sharply delivered, psychologically focused exploration of the human condition.
