The film is so flat that it leaves you wondering if Mr. Kaniuk's book is ultimately untranslatable to the screen.
The director, Paul Schrader, tries for cleansing audacity, but ends up too close to farce.
In a less competitive year, Jeff Goldblum would have had a shot at an Oscar nod for his performance in Adam Resurrected.
Largely set in two of the least appetizing locations imaginable, a concentration camp and an insane asylum, this is a rigorously made film that does almost nothing to invite the viewer into its world.
The madness of Holocaust survivors is here played mainly for dark comedy. The film's dazzling central performance in a mental institute finds Jeff Goldblum in the role of his career.
