The cast is truly star-studded and the movie has already received much critical praise, but what is it about? Here’s everything to know about Oh, Canada.
What is the plot of the movie Oh Canada?
Oh, Canada is an upcoming drama based on the 2021 novel, Foregone by Russell Banks.
The film is written and directed by Paul Schrader, and chronicles the life of Leonard Fife – an American man who evaded the Vietnam War draft and fled to Canada, before becoming a documentary filmmaker.
The story focuses on a terminally ill Leonard Fife, who agrees to have one final testament about his life filmed by his former students and documentary filmmakers Malcolm and Diana. However, his hazy memory makes him an unreliable narrator.
“His successes are held up against his failings and, as the man is cleansed of the myth, Leonard must confront what is left,” the synopsis teases.
