‘Oh, Canada’ Review: Richard Gere And His ‘American Gigolo’ Filmmaker Paul Schrader Reunite For Reflective Drama About Truth, Regrets And Mortality – Cannes Film Festival
Four decades after their hit film American Gigolo, star Richard Gere and director/writer Paul Schrader team again in new drama, Oh, Canada at Cannes.
The idea of dealing with end of life and facing the truth head on in front of a camera is certainly an intriguing one, helped especially by making Fife a documentary creator himself, a man used to putting real lives on the screen, if not always copping to the realities of his own past transgressions and questionable actions. It is a small film, but a vital one thanks certainly to Gere who has of late, like Schrader, been working a lot in indie movies and giving some great performances (check outthe criminally underrated Norman for one example), and he is again simply superb here, nailing every aspect of this man looking back, sadly the only direction he has left to explore. Title: Oh, Canada Festival: Cannes(Competition) Director-screenwriter: Paul Schrader Cast: Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Jacob Elordi, Michael Imperioli, Zach Shaffer, Kristine Froseth, Jake Weary Sales agent: WME Independent Running time: 1 hr 35 min
