This marks the second time that Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks’ novels for the screen, following his adaptation of Affliction (1997)..
The film is beautifully made with a strong visual look
I watched this at Cannes, at the film’s premiere.OH, CANADA is a highly original film by one of the masters of cinema, a real work of art.
It features beautiful cinematography and great production design
The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere who plays the protagonist.
He gives a terrific and memorable performance in the vein of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES- a complicated, not always likable but compelling characterIt may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I think it is one of Paul Schrader’ 39;s greatest achievements, go to gift to cinema lovers
