This adaptation of J.G. Ballard's acclaimed avant-garde novel follows Travis Talbert (Victor Slezak), a university professor who is fascinated with humankind's history of violent self-destruction. Joining with his colleague Dr. Nathan (Michael Kirby) and his lover (Anna Juvander), Talbert begins staging elaborate reenactments of humanity's most grotesque and infamous acts against itself, while Talbert ponders using his talents to begin World War III as the ultimate nihilist statement. The Atrocity Exhibition was the debut feature for writer and director Jonathan Weiss. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
