Oh, Canada - I tradimenti

Paul Schrader’s Oh, Canada has one of the warmest scenes in the filmmaker’s storied career—one that his acolytes may find startling.

Writer-director Schrader, a heavyweight... ...has long been fascinated with themes of redemption, and “Oh, Canada” feels almost like a semi-autobiographical confession.

...as much a film about filmmaking as it is about death.

...plays not as a statement of repentance but as an exasperated, impossibly moving love letter from a dying man.

...is a fractured, difficult-to-follow portrait of a man desperate to remember who he was; we never get the full sense of who he was either.
