This marks the second time Paul Schrader has directed one of the banks' After the adaptation of Affliction (1997) novels for the screen.. mentioned in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024).
The movie is beautifully made with powerful visuals
Oh, Canada is a very original film from one of cinema’s masters, a true work of art. It has beautiful cinematography and excellent production design.
The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere in the title role
