A famed Canadian documentary filmmaker, gives a final interview to one of his former students to tell the whole truth about his life. A confession filmed right in front of his wife… (Cannes Film Festival)
Reseñas (2)
El tema contundente de abrirse y expresar verdades ocultas sobre uno mismo, públicamente frente a las cámaras y en presencia de una esposa sorprendida. Con monólogos sinceros de autoreflexión del personaje Richard Gere. Él es tradicionalmente excelente y lo secunda con precisión Uma Thurman. La película adquiere una pátina de dirección única con una música increíblemente agradable (canciones) y un visual retro encantador en flashbacks de recuerdos. Sin embargo, su conclusión no satisface. El tema de revelar el pasado del personaje principal con una relatividad sobre lo que es verdad y lo que no, tenía un mayor potencial. [Cannes FF]

Oh, Canada starts off very promisingly, with our last interview with Leonard Fife (Richard Gere), a famous documentary filmmaker who fled to Canada to avoid the Vietnam War. It's very important for him to have his wife present for the interview because he wants to share what he hasn't shared yet. And so he begins to tell his life story. What we gradually learn about him is actually not entirely flattering, and his wife doesn't like the new revelations either, so he blames it all on his medical condition and the side effects of his medication. What's true, what's fabricated, what's distorted, what does Fife himself remember differently than it really was? It's all done quite engagingly, with a great soundtrack and great actors, but gradually the pace somehow slows down, the ideas become more and more obscure, the questions mount, and suddenly it all fizzles out into a bland, unfinished ending... and I don't know what the poet was trying to say.
