Atom Egoyan’s dreamy, disturbing and darkly (very darkly) funny fourth feature certified the young Canadian filmmaker as a genuine international sensation, and was widely hailed as his best work yet. Shot in scrumptious, elegant widescreen — and screening here in a gorgeous new 35mm print, courtesy the Toronto International Film Festival Group — The Adjuster has Elias Koteas as insurance adjuster Noah Render, saviour and seducer of benumbed clients whose homes have been destroyed by fire. Arsinée Khanjian is his neglected wife Hera, a film censor who surreptitiously videotapes the violent pornography she watches at work and smuggles it home for the consumption of her sister, a Lebanese refugee given to ritualistically burning photos of bombed-out Beirut.
