Richard Gere & Uma Thurman in Paul Schrader’s ‘Oh, Canada’ Trailer

“I’m waiting for everything to just kind of fall into place.” Kino Lorber has revealed an official trailer for Oh, Canada, the latest film from prolific American filmmaker Paul Schrader. He’s not Canadian! And the film isn’t really about Canada, only sort of. Oh, Canada premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at Toronto, San Sebastian, New York, and AFI Fest most recently. In the film, a famed Canadian documentary filmmaker, on his very last days, gives a final interview to one of his former students to tell the whole truth about his life. A confession filmed right in front of his wife… Paul Schrader’s adaptation of Russell Banks’s novel sees him reunited with Gere more than 40 years after American Gigolo, and together they deliver a moving and deeply personal take on this story of an artist reflecting on a lifetime of storytelling. Richard Gere stas as Leonard Fife, along with Jacob Elordi as young Fife, plus Uma Thurman, Victoria Hill, Michael Imperioli, Penelope Mitchell, and Kristine Froseth. This one is different from Schrader’s other recent films, offering a unique story about a filmmaker and all that he went through, good and bad, thinking back on his storied life. Some will be moved by this film, others may not be. // Continue Reading ›
