The three christs of ypsilanti film. IFC Films Bradley Whitford as Clyde, Peter Dinklage as Joseph, and Walton Goggins as Leon in Three Christs, directed by Jon Avnet One does not have to go that far back in cinema to find another film besides Jon Avnet’s newly released Three Christs that is based on medical case history. There is, for example, Penny Marshall’s Awakenings (1990), which finds its source in Oliver Sacks’s 1973 account of the application of L-dopa, a then-recently formulated medication, in the treatment of patients with irremediable encephalitis. Sacks’s original narrative, in the book called Awakenings, is a significant literary achievement, and one that brought new awareness to the role that humanism, as a discipline, could play in the study of neurology. The book was so good, so memorable, so powerfully moving, that it helped spawn an entire literary career for Sacks, who went on to write such classics as Migraine, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, Gratitude, and other excellent popular accounts of neurology, general medicine, his own life, and so on. Unfortunately, at least for this critic, Awakenings, the film, was a big bust. Not because, for example, Robert DeNiro was bad in it. On the contrary, as Sacks himself noted in his essay “ Awakenings on Stage and Screen, ” DeNiro’s capacity for physical duplication of neurological symptoms was spookily accurate. Rather, Awakenings the film was bad because the second Hollywood got ahold of the story, a whole apparatus of ludicrously melodramatic material was grafted onto Sacks’s gentle and beautiful account—all of this additional storytelling simulated, overwrought, and hard to enjoy. The result was, alas, a monstrosity of a thing. I approached Jon Avnet’s Three Christs —which is based upon Dr. Milton Rokeach’s spellbinding account (titled The Three Christs of Ypsilanti) of a “humanist” psychological experiment in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in which the author decided to practice group therapy with three chronically psychotic, schizophrenic men who all insisted they were Jesus Christ himself—with an anxiety born of prior disappointment. Since many are the abject pieces of cinema that are “based on a true account, ” as we are told here at the outset, there is good reason to worry. Judged as an example of the same, a story that awkwardly grafts dramatic material onto a wonderfully supple, sad, and powerful source, Three Christs proves the accuracy of prejudice. Right away, in the first act, there is the dismal backstory in which Dr. Allen Stone (performed by an excellently elderly Richard Gere) comes to this state hospital in Michigan for some merely plot-oriented reason, a state hospital with implausible interior offices, to conduct his implausible experiment, with implausible resistance from the evil forces of the mental health apparatus, while ignoring his implausibly young children and wife at home. Also: there is the fragile young bombshell assistant who couldn’t stop her own schizophrenic brother from committing suicide, and the African-American orderly who can’t possibly rise above his position, but who is the stalwart moral center of the film. I could go on, but the point is made: there is a superabundance of extraneous story soldered on for the sake of film entertainment. The viewer could be forgiven, in the first half-hour, for believing that one had made a grand mistake by taking on Three Christs. But if you left the film during the first act, you would miss some of what is rather splendid and moving about it—in particular, the wonderful performances of the three schizophrenic characters, Joseph, Leon, and Clyde, portrayed by Peter Dinklage, Walton Goggins, and Bradley Whitford. Each performer, in his way, brings something especially lucid to the enactment of the dread illness. Whitford, playing the lowest functioning person in the story, inhabits Clyde’s delusional space, his symbolic grasping of the world, with great sympathy; Dinklage, ever masterful and wily, manages the sometimes inexplicable charm and wit of the formidably ill; and Goggins, almost painfully at times, truly inhabits the provocations and anti-social tendencies of the most afflicted. IFC Films Richard Gere as Dr. Stone and Peter Dinklage as Joseph in Three Christs In appearance, Goggins is faintly reminiscent of David Berman, the late poet and songwriter, with his beard and broken glasses, and often achieves something like Berman’s outsider-art genius in Avnet’s rendering. It is worth also mentioning a tremendous setpiece that closely adheres to a story in Rokeach’s book, in which the men all sing “America the Beautiful” together, having selected it themselves for this purpose. This sequence is lovely, very sad, and, in its way, successfully patriotic, as almost nothing is these days. This middle section of the film holds fast most closely to Rokeach’s own account of his experiment, at times even including actual remarks by the original participants, and in this way, it gets very near to what is important about this narrative: a completely improbable experiment in humanist therapy (perhaps under the influence of the work of the humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers, which would have been roughly contemporaneous, and which eventually gave us the outlines of the now widespread practice of psychotherapy) in the midst of the institutional period of American mental health treatment. Considered from our vantage point, some fifty or more years later, Rokeach’s experiment may seem questionable, pointless, thoughtful, idealistic. But in the environment in which it was first pursued, it was fantastical enough to seem revolutionary: you’re going to just let them talk? When Avnet’s film takes the same approach, and just lets them talk, it is painful, noble, and beautiful, not least because of the great performances of the three schizophrenic characters, but also because of Gere’s dogged understatement, which is lovely and appropriate. There comes a moment, about two thirds in, when Dinklage’s Joseph kisses Gere’s character, out of gratitude—a long, sweet kiss, and it’s not only beautiful because it is routine, and because it is Peter Dinklage kissing Richard Gere, but also because this moment sets up a theme that runs through the last act of the film, in which one wonders whether one or more of the men really is Jesus of Nazareth. What would it mean to be him, actually, in the woebegone present? How would the love of Christ, among such a doomed constituency, manifest itself? The film closes with a great stretch of plot-oriented drudgery that I’m not going to rehearse here, including a suicide: more storytelling that could only come from a long-ago writers’ conference, perhaps in Los Angeles, that should never have been. None of this additional material is native to the source material, and all of it is stolidly performed by the actors in a way that, unfortunately, does not rescue the film as a whole. IFC Films Bradley Whitford as Clyde, Richard Gere as Dr. Stone, and Walton Goggins as Leon in Three Christs That said, what is it that we want from a film like Jon Avnet’s Three Christs? For me, it is not to have a bit of a cry and think about how rough it must have been in the mental hospital. What we might want, instead, is the opportunity to think of people with schizophrenia or other psychotic illnesses as people. Real people, with real emotions, and genuine ideas about themselves and their lives. Arguably, there is no Other, in all contemporary film and literature, that is as firmly lodged in the category of Outsider as the contemporary schizophrenic. You know you are seeing a film that will deal with schizophrenics by virtue of a bundle of tired repetitions: electroconvulsive shock therapy, screaming in the corridors, people being sprayed with a hose in lieu of showering themselves, straitjackets, solitary confinement. All these signal that we have left the place of civilization entirely. But, in actual fact, civilization can and does contain their suffering, a suffering much more complex than one film can manage. And yet the film that contends with this does us all a real service. One way we could begin is simply to tell the truth, as Richard Gere’s character recommends at one point in Three Christs (“Just tell the truth, keep it simple”)—by recognizing the common human aspiration in all our mentally ill people. They are our mothers, our sisters, our cousins, our brothers, our dads, our aunts and uncles. They are ourselves. Avnet’s film, for all its blustering about the institutional period of mental health treatment (a subject on which, it seems to me, it is very frequently incorrect), is on its firmest footing when in its depiction it strives for accuracy about the ache and woe of mental illness, when it says what is true: that they are us. Three Christs, directed by Jon Avnet, is on release from IFC Films from January 10.

Edit Storyline Three Christs tells the story of an extraordinary experiment that began in 1959 at Michigan's Ypsilanti State Hospital, where Dr. Alan Stone treated three paranoid schizophrenic patients who each believe they are Jesus Christ. Dr. Stone pioneers a simple, yet revolutionary treatment: instead of submitting the patients to electroshock, forced restraints and tranquilizers, he puts them in a room together to confront their delusions. What transpires is a darkly comic, intensely dramatic story about the nature of identity and the power of empathy.

Three Christs, No Waiting: Joseph (Bradley Whitford), Leon (Peter Dinklage) and Clyde (Walton Goggins) in Jon Avnet's film. IFC Films hide caption toggle caption Three Christs begins by listing four barbarous techniques used on psychiatric patients in the 1950s and then introduces its protagonist, who has a battered face and is preparing for a disciplinary hearing. This introduction appears to forecast a rough series of flashbacks for both the viewers and Dr. Alan Stone (Richard Gere). Ultimately, though, the movie goes too easy on us and him. In 1959, Michigan's state mental hospitals did actually hold three men who believed themselves to be Jesus. Social psychologist Milton Rokeach decided to treat them together, and later wrote a book, The Three Christs of Ypsilanti. Rokeach is the basis for the fictionalized Stone, and his book inspired the movie's glib and often clunky screenplay, written by Eric Nazarian and director Jon Avnet. Three Christs benefits from a seasoned cast. Peter Dinklage, Walton Goggins, and Bradley Whitford clearly relish the acting exercise of impersonating people with schizophrenia. Charlotte Hope is also compelling as Becky, the recent psychology graduate who signs on as Stone's research assistant and stirs the erotic impulses of all three patients (and maybe her new boss, too). Yet Gere doesn't relinquish his usual persona as Stone, who's portrayed as smart, benevolent, and movie-star suave. And Julianna Margulies can't do much with the underwritten role of Stone's wife Ruth, a chemistry professor who can joke that she's smarter than her husband, but is soon shown not to be wiser. As the administrators who alternately enable and undermine Stone, Kevin Pollak, Stephen Root, and Jane Alexander prove solid but unsurprising. Stone opposes electroshocks, lobotomies, induced comas, and harsh anti-psychotic drugs, which audiences in 2020 likely join him in abhorring. That doesn't mean his alternative is persuasive. Talk therapy may not be enough to banish the delusions of Joseph (Dinklage), an opera buff who imagines himself a posh Briton; Clyde (Whitford), whose musical taste is for advertising jingles and who showers endlessly to banish an imagined stench; and Leon (Goggins), who suffers PTSD and mommy issues and makes the crudest overtures to Becky. Inviting three Jesuses to the same session doesn't spark much psychological conflict or theological insight. Indeed, the self-proclaimed messiahs seem less bothered by each other's claims to divinity than by Stone's atheism, whose cause can be easily guessed. It's eventually spelled out, as is Stone's status as the parable's fourth saviour, a man who seeks to heal everyone around him. (He doesn't even have to visit an asylum to find people who need his touch: Both Ruth and Becky are candidates for deliverance. ) Avnet, whose best-known movie is the semi-comic Fried Green Tomatoes, lightens the mood with a few whimsical moments. The Chock Full o'Nuts Coffee jingle becomes an organ-driven hymn, and one of the Jesuses jokes that, "I thought I met the devil. He was an orderly in Kalamazoo. " For such moments to work, though, spectators must accept a central conceit of most Hollywood movies about people experiencing mental illness: that they can be become lucid whenever the script requires it. Stone finally decides that his approach was wrong, and sometimes unethical. Yet the filmmakers strive to place most of the blame elsewhere. Stone's miscalculations don't do much conspicuous damage, and the story's major disaster is pinned on someone else. Stone may not be any more of a Jesus than are his three patients, but Three Christs can't conceive of its silver-haired star as anything less than a saint.
