The Adjuster

1h 42m

Directed by Atom Egoyan • 1991 • Canada
Starring Elias Koteas, Arsinée Khanjian, Maury Chaykin

Noah Render (Elias Koteas) is an insurance claims adjuster who attends to his clients’ every need—including their sexual ones. His wife, Hera (Arsinée Khanjian), is a government censor who spends her days and nights obsessively watching pornography for both work and pleasure. When they become involved with Bubba (Maury Chaykin) and Mimi (Gabrielle Rose), a wealthy couple with a taste for kinky role-playing, the Renders’ lives are turned upside down in this surreal puzzle from Atom Egoyan.
