How can you place a dollar value on human suffering?
Atom Egoyan is an absolute genius, but I find it somewhat difficult to discuss his films as they are so complex. He seems to make the kinds of movies where you walk out of the theater after it’s over and all the parts are clear in your head, but you can’t quite piece them all together. But you can’t help but try. Sooner or later, everything falls into place, and sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, Egoyan makes you really think about a lot of issues.“The Adjuster” is about an insurance adjuster who helps victims of house fires get money from insurance companies. There is a really great parallel drawn between the adjuster, Noah, and Robin Hood. He quite frequently shoots arrows with his bow at a billboard sign that says “Sherwood Forest”. He is essentially taking money from the rich insurance companies and giving it to the poor victims of fires. We also have Noah’s voyeuristic wife Hara, who is a film censor for porn flicks. She films what they censor with a video camera so that her sister can see what she does, as she has always shared everything with her sister. There is an extreme sense of bareness of the characters lives in the film. This is reinforced by the vast, open, almost desert landscape around the suburb. They own the only house in this particular suburb, and it is in fact a model house. Even the books on the bookshelf inside are fake. All this seems to reinforce the lives that the characters live. This is a definite achievement from a cutting edge director.
A gem, as always, from Egoyan.
The one thing I can always count on from Atom Egoyan is an interesting film. This is a brilliant, and very dark, comedy with a sensationally twisted plot, fabulous cast, and great cinematography. Egoyan’s use of light is excellent, as is the wonderful setting and scenery. This film is so imaginative that it’s beyond a story told on the screen…visual poetry. And the frightening thing is that as good as this film is, it’s not even his best effort. The pace was a bit slow at times, and at times the plot seemed to stagger a bit. His film-making was much sharper in Exotica, which is my personal favourite. But the plot is so well devised (odd and twisted, and full of intricate details that are hard to really absorb the first time through) that it makes up for any lack of quality. Elias Koteas is really good in this; his best role save perhaps Fallen, and he outshines Arsinee Khanjian who didn’t quite feel up to par. My favourite role in the film, however, was a fabulous performance by Maury Chaykin as an unbalanced former football player. The gasoline scene is the best in the film, and Chaykin’s expression and lines are priceless. As well, look for Don McKellar’s excellent, though unfortunately small role, as Tyler (the rookie censor). He’s absolutely hilarious, and his delivery of dialogue is nothing short of brilliant. All i all, it’s not Egoyan’s best effort, which means it still stands above most films. A really good quality indie-film, with a *very* original plot, quirky and memorable characters, and a strong cast. An easy 8/10.
