Adam Resurrected (Hebrew: ?, translit. Adam Ben Kelev) is a 2008 American-German-Israeli film, directed by Paul Schrader and adapted from Yoram Kaniuks novel of the same name published in Israel in 1968 (the books original name literally means "Man, son of a dog").
Jeff Goldblum stars as the titular character, alongside Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi and Ayelet Zurer. Several major German stars, including Moritz Bleibtreu, Veronica Ferres, Juliane Kohler and Joachim Krol, play supporting roles.
