Oh, Canada (2024) watch online

Oh, Canada is a 2024 American drama film written and directed by Paul Schrader, based on the 2021 novel Foregone by Russell Banks. It stars Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, Jacob Elordi, Victoria Hill, Penelope Mitchell and Kristine Froseth. The film marked the second collaboration between Gere and Schrader after American Gigolo (1980) as well as Schrader's second adaptation of a novel by Banks after 1997's Affliction.

It follows a dying filmmaker (played by Gere in the present and Elordi in flashbacks) sits for a final interview, during which he admits that his status as a progressive icon is built on a foundation of lies and half-truths, and that he has repeatedly used and discarded his family and friends.

The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2024, where it competed for the Palme d'Or. It was theatrically released in the United States by Kino Lorber on December 6.
