This marks the second time that Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks' novels for the screen, following his adaptation of Affliction (1997)..

The film is beautifully made with a strong visual look

I watched this at Cannes, at the film's premiere.OH, CANADA is a highly original film by one of the masters of cinema, a real work of art.

It features beautiful cinematography and great production design

The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere who plays the protagonist.

He gives a terrific and memorable performance in the vein of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES- a complicated, not always likable but compelling characterIt may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it is one of Paul Schrader's 39;s greatest achievements, and a gift to cinema lovers

Recommended.
