A Must-See Drama
(RATING: ☆☆☆☆½ out of 5 ) THIS FILM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. IN BRIEF: An underrated film that deserves to be seen…one of the year’s best dramas. GRADE: A- SYNOPSIS: In 1951, a young Jewish man goes to college to avoid the Korean War and falls in love with serious consequences. JIM’S REVIEW: Based on Philip Roth’s novel, Indignation tells the familiar story of a young repressed Jewish man falling in love (or lust) with a beautiful Gentile woman in the 1950’s era. A rehash of Goodbye Columbus without the comic edge and irony, this film follows a similar outline by the same author, but is far more solemn and serious in its treatment. This is typical Roth territory in which our hero will try to overcome the obstacles placed in his path as fate deals its upper hand. Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman) is an intellectual loner. Yearning to escape from his domineering Jewish family, he goes off to a conservative Christian college rather than fighting in the Korean War. It is there he meets Olivia (Sarah Gadon), a beautiful blonde vision of loveliness and their first date leads to a budding romance. It is also there that he encounters an omnipotent and powerful head dean, Dean Caudwell (Tracy Letts, in a powerful performance, but more on that later), who has great difficulty coming to terms with this all too rational and radical student and avowed atheist. The screenplay adaptation by James Schamus, who also directed the film, is first rate. It allows the characters to intellectualize their philosophies with such eloquence. The film starts off a bit too leisurely but establishes characters and place so effortlessly. The film structure begins as a flashback with narrative voice-over that doesn’t really make much sense until its full circle ending, with one of the most powerful closing shots that emotionally left me gasp. Mr. Schamus’ literate script aligns with his skillful direction, as this talented filmmaker captures the mindset of this nostalgic but troubled era in an understated fashion. (Speaking of fashions, the costume design by the gifted Ann Roth is a visual treat as well.) About the midway point, there is a remarkable dramatic scene that highlights the glorious direction, screenplay, and acting unlike any other film thus far this year. It is a rather lengthy confrontation between our idealist liberal young hero sparring with a smug conservative dean. The teacher becomes intellectually inferior to his student as their conversation continues. The tension builds ominously and slowly in this cat-and mouse gamesmanship, maneuvering from one point of view to the next. It is startling its its subtlety and impact. Simply put, it is the highlight of this film and one of the most engrossing scenes one will see this year in any film. The acting is superb. Mr. Lerman as Marcus is perfectly cast and carries off the innocence of youth angle in this coming-of-age tale. This actor commands the screen and makes his character quite believable and caring. His love interest played by Ms. Gadon definitely looks the part, but her acting skills never reach the depth of her written character. She needed to be that 50’s female icon, a Grace Kelly type, but comes off as a second-tier Kim Novak or a third -rate Cybil Shepard. She’s good, but not good enough when compared to the stellar acting by others in this movie. The film is populated with top-notch Broadway veterans in supporting roles who certainly know their way around a script. Danny Burstein plays Marcus’ over-protective father and he is so strong in his nuanced acting that one wishes he had more screen time. Adding fine support in smaller roles are Ben Rosenfield and Pico Anderson. But there are two truly great performances that deserve award recognition: Linda Emond as Esther, Marcus’ loving mother, who has a wonderful speech as she tries to steer her son into making the right decision. It is delivered with such skill and passion. Tracy Leets as the egotistical and bigoted Dean Caudwell, is a marvel, creating one of the most terrifying teacher role models since J.K. Simmon’s sadistic teacher in Whiplash. The hatred and intolerance of others is so condensed in Mr. Leets’ body language and facial expressions that the end results counteract his words in the most unsettling manner. (Oscar voters, are you listening?) The film’s theme about life’ s choices, about the road we take or did not take, about the small detours that can have consequences which will eternally haunt our existence, is foremost in this thought-provoking story. Mr. Schamus has made an compelling case with his wonderful debut, Indignation. Let us hope this independent film makes a compelling reason with the movie-going audience for compulsory viewing and is not lost amid the blockbusters and cinematic hyperbole that is usually the par for the summer course. Run to see this film while you can! It demands your attention!

Roth’s excellent dialogue is well-preserved but oeuvre is subsumed by weak plot and theme of karmic conniptions
In his feature directorial debut, James Schamus also wrote the screenplay based on the Philip Roth 2008 novel of the same name. Having read the novel after viewing the film, I was astounded at just how little Schamus changed when adapting the novel to the screen. Substantial portions of the dialogue appear almost verbatim, and even the plot–except for a few minor changes–pretty much reads the same.

The setting is at the fictional Winesburg College in Ohio during the early days of the Korean War. Logan Lerman is believable as Marcus Messner, the only child of a Kosher butcher Max (Danny Burstein) who worries incessantly about his son, who is away from home for the first time. The father’s worrying foreshadows the son’s tragic fate, revealed at film’s end as almost a random happenstance.

The film breaks into Act Two when Marcus meets Olivia Hutton, a blonde, non-Jewish co-ed who has a past history of psychiatric problems. Unfortunately Hutton is just there to move the plot along, solidifying Roth’s main theme of “bad things happen to good people,” and the inevitability of fate or Karmic resolutions in the universe.

The insecure Marcus marvels how he ends up the recipient of a blow job on a first date with Olivia but soon learns that she was hospitalized before entering college after a suicide attempt. Roth never develops Olivia’s character and she makes a rather unceremonious exit even before the film’s denouement, reportedly experiencing an (off screen) nervous breakdown, and mysteriously withdrawing from college upon orders of her well-connected physician father.

The main plot involves Marcus’ conflict with Dean Cauldwell (Tracy Letts), an uptight martinet who calls Marcus to his office and dresses him down for not getting along with his roommates. He makes unreasonable demands on Marcus who defends himself adroitly, arguing that his private life has nothing to with his academic performance, which up until this point has been more than exemplary.

There’s a good bit of excellent Rothian dialogue here but the long monologues work better in the novel than in the film. Particularly of note is the debate over the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher, Bertrand Russell, who is one of Marcus’ heroes. Cauldwell’s pejorative description of Russell is almost worth the price of admission: “four times married, a blatant adulterer, an advocate of free love, a self- confessed socialist dismissed from his university position for his antiwar campaigning during the First World War and imprisoned for that by the British authorities.”

The other one of Marcus’ effective foils is his mother Esther (played with great verisimilitude by the noted stage actress, Linda Emond), who is cast in the role of protector from ravenous Shiksas. Emond rivals Letts for best monologue especially at the moment when she gets Marcus to agree not to see Olivia anymore (“The world is full of young women who have not slit any wrists-who have slit nothing. They exist by the millions. Find one of them. She can be a Gentile, she can be anything. This is 1951”).

Except for some good dialogue, Indignation features too many negative characters without many redeeming points. Marcus’ roommates all seem to have it in for him, especially Flusser, whose record-playing at loud volumes, drives Marcus to seek his own living quarters. Even Cottler, the popular head of a Jewish fraternity, sets Marcus up (however inadvertently) for his final fall from grace.

Despite his academic accomplishments, Marcus becomes his own worst enemy by refusing to attend double the amount of Chapel visits as punishment for utilizing a stand-in to attend services that violate his treasured Atheistic beliefs. Again, it’s another severe character, in the form of Dean Cauldwell, who delivers the final coup de grace of expulsion from the college.

All this highlights Roth’s (and Schamus’) fatalistic theme which involves how for many of us, bucking fate is pretty much an impossibility. Against all odds (or so it seems), Marcus is caught violating University policy while others of lesser rank had previously, with great success, “bucked the system.” Other events appear to have led to Marcus’ doom including his involvement with the mentally ill Olivia (the innocent “hand job” she gives him while he’s convalescing in the hospital after a bout of appendicitis, leads to a rather bad reputation) and Dean Cauldwell’s unforgiving stance seals his fate.

Marcus’ fate indeed is book ended at the beginning and end of the picture. As it turns out, Max and Esther’s only child is condemned to die on the distant battlefields of Korea. Perhaps in real life, Marcus would not have had to oppose the straw men he’s pitted up against in this work of fiction and would have avoided such a deleterious fate, held up as both literary and filmic coup, by the film’s proud and undeserved scenarists.
