Synopsis
Leonard Fife, one of the sixty thousand draft dodgers and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid service in Vietnam, shares all his secrets to demythologize his mythologized life.. Based on the novel ‘Foregone’ by Russell Banks. This is the second time Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks’ novels for the screen, following his adaptation of Affliction (1997). I saw this in Cannes, at the film’s premiere. OH CANADA is a highly original film by one of the masters of cinema, a true work of art. The film is beautifully made with a strong visual look. It features beautiful cinematography and great production design. The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere, who plays the title character. He gives a great and memorable performance in the vein of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY WINS – a complex, not always sympathetic, but compelling character. It may not be for everyone, but I think it’s one of Paul Schrader’s greatest achievements and a gift for film lovers. Recommended.
