Based on the novel “Foregone”; by Russell Banks
Tale
Leonard Fife, one of the sixty thousand draft dodgers and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid serving in Vietnam, shares all his secrets to demystify his mythologized life.. This marks the second time Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks’ novels for the screen, following the adaptation of Affliction (1997)..
I watched this at Cannes, when the film premiered
Featured in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024). OH, CANADA is a highly original film by one of the masters of cinema, a true work of art.
It has beautiful cinematography and excellent production design
The film is beautifully made with a strong visual look. The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere who plays the title role.
The greatest achievements of 39 years and a gift for cinema lovers
He gives a great and memorable performance, in the vein of Jack Nicholson in FIVE DOORS – a complicated character, not always likeable, but compelling. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s one of Paul Schrader’s. Recommended.
