Paul Schrader Thought He Was Dying. So He Made a Movie About It.
“I actually thought when I was making it, Okay, this is the last one. It’s a good last one.”
We meet in one of the well-appointed restaurants of Coterie Hudson Yards, the high-end senior living facility Schrader moved into in 2023(both to make his life easier and to be closer to his wife, the actress Mary Beth Hurt, who is in a memory unit elsewhere in the same building). On the day of our interview, Schrader smiles and points to a schedule showing that, after the watercolor workshop and the mahjong club, they’ll be screening Andrei Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia.) As he discusses his reunion with Gere (whom he directed in 1980’s American Gigolo, one of the actor’s iconic roles), the challenges of making Oh, Canada, and all the ways that the film industry has changed, he can’t help but talk about the projects he’s working on now.
