Trailer for ‘Oh, Canada’ Gives a First Look at Paul Schrader’s Latest Movie

The first trailer for Oh, Canada has been released online. Written and directed by Paul Schrader, who adapts from Russell Banks’ Foregone, the movie stars Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Victoria Hill, Michael Imperioli, Penelope Mitchell, and Kristine Froseth. Our own Joey Magidson just spoke to Schrader here about the film, so make sure you give that a listen.

Here is the plot synopsis:

“Aging filmmaker Leonard Fife (Richard Gere), 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 (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond. At Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), 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 to deliver a moving and deeply personal take on this story of an artist reflecting on a lifetime of storytelling.”

Additionally, a poster was released, which you can look at below:
