Plot Details Of The Drama Film 'Oh, Canada'

Kino Lorber has described the film 'Oh, Canada' in the following manner, "Aging filmmaker Leonard Fife, still fiery despite his battle with illness, wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it's too late. As the director of acclaimed documentary exposés, he has much to be proud of, but his Vietnam War draft-dodging and his past relationships harbor thorny truths. Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm, relating candid stories about his younger self in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond. At Leonard's insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma, bears witness to it all. His successes are held up against his failings and, as the man is cleansed of the myth, Leonard must confront what is left. Paul Schrader's adaptation of Russell Banks's novel sees him reunited with Gere more than 40 years after American Gigolo, and together they deliver a moving and deeply personal take on this story of an artist reflecting on a lifetime of storytelling."
