30/42
Based on the novel 'Foregone' by Russell Banks
Scenario
Leonard Fife, one of the 60,000 draft evaders and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid service in Vietnam, shares all his secrets to unraveling his mythologized life. IMDb editor Arno Kazarian offers snapshots of 12 films he screened during 2024 at the New York Film Festival, including Anora and the dangerous, oddly erotic Misericordia.
I saw this in Cannes, at the premiere of the film
This is the second time Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks' novels to the screen after his adaptation Affliction (1997). Referred to on Movie Trash Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024).
The film is beautifully made with strong visuals
CANADA is a very original film from one of the masters of cinema, a true work of art. It has beautiful cinematography and great production design.
The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere, who plays the main character
He gives a wonderful and memorable performance like Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES – a complex, not always likable, but attractive character. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s one of Paul Schrader’s cups of tea.
