One of his most accomplished and controversial early works, \u003cem\u003eThe Adjuster\u003c\/em\u003e, is a dark drama about the complex and intense relationship between an insurance adjuster and his clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible analysis, Tom McSorley traces the genesis, production, and reception of Egoyan's fourth feature film, from its Cannes Film Festival premiere to its North American commercial release. The book locates \u003cem\u003eThe Adjuster\u003c\/em\u003e in the larger context of Canadian cinema history's peculiar and often troubled evolution, and offers a provocative interpretation of the film's unique analysis of the malaise of materialism in North American culture.
