Indignation

“Indignation,” the directing debut of the longtime independent film producer and executive James Schamus, is a movie so insistently out of step with contemporary American cinema as to be considered practically defiant.

Indignation is very much the sort of venture Mr. Schamus has often championed as a producer — ambitious and provocative, a must-see for anyone who cares about independent film.

A young Jewish man comes of age in a WASP-y college in James Schamus' spot-on adaptation.

The searing drama “Indignation” revisits a time and place that operated under such a strict moral code that today it is utterly alien, although it was merely the United States in the early ’50s.

James Schamus's screenplay is rich with culturally specific details that deepen these forking moral predicaments.

Shot by Christopher Blauvelt, the warm aesthetic approach is not dissimilar to last year’s Sundance hit of the same era, Brooklyn; Jay Wadley‘s beautiful piano and string-heavy score adds a blissful touch as well. Indignation is a thoughtful examination of romantic courtship and educational routines that’s best when its writer-director prioritizes characters over plot. As punctuated by a dark, transcendent ending, Schamus captures many wistful echoes of an era long past.

With impeccable performances — particularly an electric, extended scene between Marcus and the college dean (Tracy Letts), and Gadon, whose wistful character has a face full of secrets — Indignation is an elegant debut for longtime producer Schamus; a visit to the past, with both sunshine and darkness.

Rather than take the audience inside Marcus’s world, “Indignation” is content to show it to us, in an episodic narrative in which, as Marcus’s worried father insists, even “the tiniest mistake can have consequences.”

James Schamus makes his directorial debut with this well-acted adaptation of a novel about a Jewish man at odds with the morals of his Christian college.

3092d ago

Schamus is a great producer of independent cinema, having overseen — and sometimes co-written — the work of Ang Lee, but this is the first movie he has directed, and the rhythm of the storytelling feels careful and courteous to a fault.

Schamus, a longtime producer and screenwriter of many indie-film landmarks (especially those directed by Ang Lee, and the early films by Todd Haynes) directs his first feature film with Indignation. He shows a steady hand, yet the film nevertheless feels cautious and underplayed. There is more a feeling of exasperation that envelops Marcus rather than outright indignation. The film is indeed a cautionary tale, but one that follows its own admonishments too closely.

An excellent, hilarious 15-minute verbal sparring match between Marcus and the school’s dean (Tracy Letts) is both an overindulgence — so many of the characters need fleshing out — but also a welcome burst of laughter in a self-serious picture.
