Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment and Roadside Attractions will release James Schamus’ directorial debut “Indignation” on July 29.
The film will open in New York and Los Angeles, before running through August.
The adaptation of Phillip Roth’s novel stars Logan Lerman as “a young Jewish student from New Jersey in the ’50s. He works in his father’s kosher butcher shop and escapes his overprotective father and their sheltered family life by heading off to a small Ohio college on scholarship at a time when the Korean War is taking young men in the neighborhood and academia is the best way to avoid being drafted. His life takes a turn when he meets a beguiling but troubled young woman (Sarah Gadon) and an intrusive dean (Tracy Letts). The latter imposes the suffocating morality of the period, the sexual repression and even the feeling of anti-Semitism on campus” (via Deadline).
