Scenario

Leonard Fife, one of sixty thousand draft evaders and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid serving in Vietnam, shares all his secrets to de-mythologize his mythologized life. This marks the second time 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

Referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024). 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 character.

39;s greatest achievements, and a gift to cinema lovers
