Each of the five main characters in this film is linked to one of the senses. Philippe Volter plays an eye doctor who is going deaf, for example. The sense of touch is embodied in Gabrielle Rose who plays the part of a massage therapist. The Five Senses was a hit at both the Cannes Film Festival and at the 1999 Toronto International Film Festival. Jeremy Podeswa was given the Genie Award for Best Director in January 2000.
