Director Paul Schrader and actor Michael Imperioli attend a screening of his film Oh, Canada, for an audience Q&A at IFC Center in New York City.

Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Jacob Elordi, Victoria Hill and Michael Imperioli star in Oh, Canada centers on fiery but ailing filmmaker Leonard Fife (Richard Gere), who wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it’s too late. As the director of lauded documentary exposés, he has much to be proud of, but his avoidance of the Vietnam War draft and his past relationships harbor thorny truths. Finally choosing to reveal the truth and lies in his life and career, Leonard sits for an extended filmed interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), charging ahead with candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the fractious 1960s and beyond. At Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), hears it all.
