REVIEW
ADAM’S APPLES (Adams æbler) is a Danish film that focuses on Adam Pedersen (Ulrich Thomsen, Kingdom of Heaven), a neo-Nazi paroled to a rural Christian parish to do community service. He becomes wary of the pastor, Ivan (Mads Mikklesen), who has an eccentric and religious way of dealing with everything. Ivan assigns Adam to keep an eye on the apple tree.
The pastor’s community is populated by parolees who seem like characters straight out of the Gospels, including a murderer, a thief and an adulterer, as well as rebels and infirm people. But Ivan does not see people the way others do. Adam thinks Ivan is in denial.
Adam and Ivan exist in parallel universes. Yet Ivan’s psychological weakness becomes Adam’s spiritual strength and evokes a touching generosity that the neo Nazi seems incapable of at the beginning.
Ivan is a Christ figure, Adam’s redeemer, Adam is transformed when Ivan has a near death experience. Sinfulness is astonished by saving grace.
Adam’s Apples is a dark comedy that is inherently Christian, sacramental, inspiring and surprising. It’s the kind of story Catholic novelist Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964) might write if she were alive.
