Holocaust Drama Causes Stir
[Reuters-Hollywood Reporter] Kirk Honeycutt - Paul Schrader's "Adam Resurrected" features Jeff Goldblum as a former German-Jewish circus clown and nightclub performer in a mental institute, in a movie based on Yoram Kaniuk's novel. Goldblum's Adam Stein survived the death camps not only because he could play the violin while fellow Jews including his own family marched to their deaths, but also because a sadistic camp commander wanted Adam's entertainment to take his mind off an arduous job. At an asylum in the Negev Desert populated solely by Holocaust survivors, the fictional Adam still is the main attraction.
