Uma Thurman On Making Paul Schrader’s Cannes Film ‘Oh, Canada’: “I Had A Strong Feeling This Was Very Personal To Him”
Uma Thurma returns to Cannes as the wife of a dying documentary filmmaker in Paul Schrader's Cannes Film Festival title Oh, Canada.
Uma Thurman has been to Cannes more times than she can remember, either to pledge support for the glamorous annual charity event amfAR or with films as diverse as the genteel Merchant-Ivory period film The Golden Bowl(2000) and Quentin Tarantino’s ultraviolent Kill Bill: Volume 2(2004), in which she reprised her badass role as The Bride. The cinematic hand of Paul, of course, carried the day, as far as bringing this sort of illusionary dream together into something that you walk away from with the strong impression of a story. Watching him put this piece together, I had a very strong feeling that that this was very personal to him, knowing that he was very good friends with Russell Banks, the author of the book it’s based on.
