Atom Egoyan directed several films which won widespread critical acclaim in the 1990s: "The Adjuster" (1991) won awards at several festivals, "Exotica" (1994) won the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes as well as eight Genie Awards including Best Motion Picture, and "The Sweet Hereafter" (1997) became the first Canadian film to win the Grand Prix at Cannes, won seven Genies including Best Motion Picture, and was nominated for two prizes at the 70th Academy Awards. The latter film is frequently cited as one of the greatest Canadian films of all time, placing third in both the 2004 and 2015 TIFF polls. Actors Maury Chaykin, Bruce Greenwood, Elias Koteas, Don McKellar and Sarah Polley each appeared in two of these films, and Egoyan's wife Arsinée Khanjian acted in all three.
