Director Paul Schrader has reunited with actor Richard Gere after 44 years since their collaboration on American Gigolo for the film 'Oh Canada.' The movie, making its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, follows Gere's character, Leonard Fife, a draft dodger and documentary filmmaker facing terminal cancer. Fife decides to set the record straight on his life through a final interview captured on camera.
Schrader expressed his admiration for Gere's portrayal of Fife, highlighting the depth of the character and the impact it could have on audiences. To complement Gere's performance, Jacob Elordi was cast as a younger version of Fife, showcasing his talent before his breakout roles in Euphoria and Sofia Coppola's Priscilla biopic.
