Program Note
Atom Egoyan′s fourth feature film, The Adjuster, is a haunting drama of emotional isolation and twisted morality. Elias Koteas is Noah Render, an insurance adjuster who doesn′t so much live his life as manage it-much like his attempts to handle and restore the damaged lives of his clients, whose homes have been destroyed by fire. His methods are unorthodox: setting clients up in the same "victim′s motel," sleeping with many of them, and exploiting them in other ways. At home, Noah neglects his wife Hera, who workes as a film censor, and her pornography obsessed sister Seta. When this odd family collides with a perverse couple with more money than sense, everyone′s carefully orchestrated lives quickly begin to disintegrate. Brilliantly shot in CinemaScope and elevated further by a superb Canadian cast, The Adjuster is an assured, intricate and entertaining film; it stands as a defining moment in Egoyan′s career.
