Paul Schrader’s ‘Oh, Canada,’ Starring Richard Gere, Sells to Kino Lorber


Paul Schrader and Richard Gere's "Oh, Canada" has sold North American distribution rights months after its Cannes premiere.

Gere, reuniting with Schrader for the first time since 1980’s “American Gigolo,” plays a terminally ill writer and filmmaker who sits down for a final interview to reveal the unvarnished facts of his life. The deal for “Oh, Canada” was negotiated by Kino Lorber’s head of theatrical acquisitions and distribution Lisa Schwartz and David Gonzales and WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers. “’Oh, Canada’ is a stunning artistic achievement by the great Paul Schrader, a poignant, formally daring rumination on aging, memory, and mortality anchored by a commanding performance from Richard Gere,” Schwartz said in a statement.
