“Oh, Canada”

“Oh, Canada” is a new dramatic feature from writer/director Paul Schrader (“American Gigolo”), adapting a novel by Russell Banks, starring Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Victoria Hill, Michael Imperioli, Penelope Mitchell and Kristine Froseth, opening December 5, 2024 in theaters:

“…filmmaker ‘Leonard Fife’ (Gere), still fiery despite his battle with illness, wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it's too late. As the director of acclaimed documentary exposés, he has much to be proud of, but his US wartime draft-dodging and his past relationships harbor thorny truths. 

“Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student ‘Malcolm’ (Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Elordi) during the 1960’s and  beyond. 

“At Leonard's insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, ‘Emma’ (Thurman), bears witness to it all. His successes are held up against his failings and, as the man is cleansed of the myth, Leonard must confront what is left.
