Fox Cinema,
400 3rd Street, Menasha Ticket $5Sentenced to community service at a small, countryside church, Adam, a middle-aged neo-Nazi, is warmly welcomed by the cheerful vicar, Ivan. Although Adam is crude, full of hostility, and beyond redemption, Ivan encourages him to choose a goal that will occupy his time there. When Adam dismissively tells the vicar that he will bake an apple pie, Ivan assigns him the task of nurturing the church's lone apple tree. It is a story of a fiercely irreverent struggle between good and evil.
What do the reviewers say …
"This oddball story is more than a one-joke concept. Its characters are sometimes cruel, sometimes sweet, but always recognizably human." – G. Allen Johnson (
San Francisco Chronicle)"Jensen is an accomplished screenwriter with a knack for developing people amid comic nonsense." – Wesley Morris (
Boston Globe)"The actors play this darkly funny material as if they are in a deadly serious Shakespearean drama, highlighting the situation's many absurdities" – Dan Jardine (
