		Both a scathing indictment of political correctness and a rueful character study of an academic in the twilight of his life and career, The Human Stain is a challenging, richly textured novel.
		Despite the presence of Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman, The Human Stain is a bloodless, clumsily told drama that stubbornly refuses to come alive.
		Narrated by Roth's fictional alter ego, reclusive novelist Nathan Zukerman (Gary Sinise), The Human Stain is set in 1998 at the height (or nadir) of the political-correctness era.

		PHILIP Roth's brilliant, savagely funny "The Human Stain" was one of the great novels of the '90s, but its very greatness as a novel - its complexity and its wide range of tone and subject - makes it a tough candidate for film adaptation.
		Indeed, though "Human Stain" is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year, and is probably a lock for Oscar nominations.
		She may be too good-looking for the role, but despite the film's failure to explain her deeply damaged character's behavior and one dreadful moment that requires her to make conversation with a bird in a cage, she shows once again that she's a real actor, not just a movie star.

	Filmtracks: The Human Stain (Rachel Portman)
		The Human Stain: (Rachel Portman) Based upon the 2000 novel of the same title by Philip Roth, the story concluded a trilogy of dramas by the author and was translated to the big screen by Miramax in 2002.
		It is likely that her work for The Human Stain will also cater to her loyal audience, but whether it can muster the same support as The Cider House Rules and Chocolat depends likewise on how well received the movie is at awards time.
		This reliance of the score on the success of the film is due mostly to the fact that The Human Stain isn't as beautiful in a larger setting as many of the films that Portman is accustomed to scoring.

		The film opens with quite a nice dramatic hook, with what appears to be a flash-forward to the end of the film (or at least, the end of the line for several of the characters).
		The Human Stain would really have been a much better film if it had jettisoned the entire present-time portion of the film and developed the background story instead.
		Given that The Human Stain was based on a novel, it's likely that we're seeing the result of an awkward adaptation of a longer, more developed written story.

	The Human Stain Review (DVD Movie/Film)
		The Human Stain is an adaptation of the book of the same name by the great American novelist Philip Roth.
		A master of self-reinvention, Silk is much more than he claims he to be, and The Human Stain is in part an unravelling of Coleman’s real life, exposing that which he has long denied to himself and to others.
		Set in 1998 during the height of the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, The Human Stain is also concerned with issues surrounding sex and intimacy, as the older Coleman embarks on his own scandalous relationship with Faunia Farely (Nicole Kidman), a local cleaning lady (and probably the most beautiful ever committed to celluloid).

		Early in the film, dating a white girl, he takes her home to meet his mother, having not made it clear he is fl; his revelation is made through the fact of her appearance, which seems cowardly and cruel.
		Passing for white is not as uncommon as some of the reviewers of "The Human Stain" seem to think.
		One problem with "The Human Stain," however, is that Anthony Hopkins doesn't look anything like Wentworth Miller, who plays him as a young man. We simply have to accept the mismatch as a given, and move on.

		Though Human Stain is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year.
		For all its shortcomings, The Human Stain is an honorable, sometimes moving attempt, better at evoking the poignancy of Silk's autumnal affair than exploring the moral ambiguities of his deception.
		The Human Stain isn't a movie of ideas, and it's too inert to be a probing character study.

	Playback St. Louis Reviews - The Human Stain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Human Stain is actually much, much more about class wars and race relations than it initially lets on, and this is illustrated gradually by the flashbacks that involve the aforementioned Wentworth Miller.
		The acting is great (especially Ed Harris, as Kidman’s psychotic ex-husband), the direction is smooth, the cinematography is beautiful (it was the last film that Jean Yves-Escoffier shot before he died), and the script certainly isn’t bad.
		I think the main thing that keeps The Human Stain from being the important, message-laden movie it intends to be is that Roth’s books just don’t allow themselves to be properly adapted to the screen.

		The Human Stain completes Philip Roth's thematic American trilogy, a meditation on the historical forces in the latter half of the twentieth century that have destroyed many innocent lives.
		The Human Stain (the title of Roth's novel as well as Zuckerman's book) is not quite the book that Coleman wanted written, but it was a story that Zuckerman felt compelled to tell.
		The Human Stain is not a book I would have been immediately drawn to yet was more than pleasantly surprised when I began reading it.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Human Stain
		Adapted from the novel by Philip Roth by scenarist Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan) and directed by Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer), 2003's The Human Stain has a deep literary veneer, from its opening lecture on Homer's The Iliad to the somber coda on the surface of a frozen lake.
		But pretensions aside, The Human Stain delivers insights about personal burdens, about psyches that have been frayed by guilt, confined by societal expectations, and driven by the most basic of human desires.
		Roth's novel thoughtfully places these events in 1998 during the Clinton impeachment —; a time, it's noted, between the fall of communism and the rise of terrorism, when the nation was so at peace that we had nothing better to do than become ill-informed, opinionated gossips.

	Kidman is the best thing going in 'Human Stain'
		The film version of Philip Roth's novel, "The Human Stain," is out to be this year's version of "The Hours" -- Miramax's prestigious, late-season Oscar contender.
		"The Human Stain" also has elegant camera work by the late Jean Yves Escoffier (to whom the film is dedicated), uniformly intelligent direction by Benton ("Kramer vs. Kramer") and quality supporting performances from Harris, Sinise and Anna Deavere Smith.
		Hopkins is his usual, dominating self, but there's no doubt that his good work is compromised by the unfolding premise-shift; and Nicholas Meyer's adaptation is too respectful of Roth to invent any touches that might make Hopkins' casting a little more credible.

	FilmStew.com • The Human Stain
		What The Human Stain needs is a director like Todd Haynes, a man who under-stands the demands of melo-drama.
		Alas, instead of Haynes, The Human Stain's director is Robert Benton, who constructs an elegant mise en scene for this tale of a classics professor (Anthony Hopkins) whose carefully guarded life comes crashing down around him.
		All of the elements are in place for a superior drama — an A-list cast, a gorgeous score by Rachel Portman, glorious cinematography by the late Jean-Yves Escoffier — but Benton's direction is uneven and, worse, the casting of Anthony Hopkins in the lead is a fatal bit of miscasting the film can't overcome.

	The Human Stain on DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Given the formidable challenge of adapting Philip Roth's acclaimed novel to the screen, it's a wonder that The Human Stain retains so much of what makes Roth's novel a masterpiece.
		As adapted by Nicholas Meyer, Robert Benton's film is inevitably a different animal altogether, and it's wide open to charges of miscasting and thematic diffusion.
		But at its core, this delicate drama succeeds in exposing the sins that stain all of humanity, forcing men like former welterweight boxer and esteemed professor Coleman Silk (Anthony Hopkins) to forsake family and career to conceal his African American heritage.

		Think about this: 2003's "The Human Stain" was based on a novel by Philip Roth ("Goodbye, Columbus," "Portnoy's Complaint").
		"The Human Stain" is one of those films that depends almost entirely upon a single shocking revelation for its impact and its very reason for being.
		"The Human Stain" is rated R mainly for sex and nudity, and for the profanity that starts in immediately during Sinise's opening narration.
