See The First Trailer For 'Indignation,' The Sundance Hit Based On Philip Roth's Novel

"Indignation" has a great many bona fides: James Schamus is making his directorial debut in a Philip Roth adaptation that marks the latest star vehicle for "Perks of Being a Wallflower" breakout Logan Lerman. The drama was well-liked when it premiered at Sundance in January -- I thought of it as a brasher (read: male) version of "Brooklyn."

The story of Marcus Messner, a whip-smart working-class Jewish boy who moves to Ohio to attend a conservative college, "Indignation" is a coming-of-age story set in the early 1950s. Against the backdrop of the Korean War, Marcus explores his first romance on a campus that often clashes with the cultural liberation he desires.
