Jacob Elordi co-stars with Richard Gere and Uma Thurman in Paul Schrader's emOh, Canada/em.
The Big Picture A frequent complaint that never makes sense is when people lament that an artist explores the same themes throughout their entire career. “Why won’t they switch it up and tackle something new?” In my mind, there are more than enough artists for each to have their own singular preoccupations they return to endlessly in their practice. Why would I want them to explore something outside of this? That seems like a surefire path to inauthenticity.

'Oh, Canada' Benefits From Its Music and Visuals A decade since breakout album Muchacho, Schrader taps singer-songwriter Phosphorescent to score Oh, Canada. It gives the film a nice ’70s energy, similar to when singer-songwriters like Kris Kristofferson would score films with original tracks.

'Oh, Canada' Has an Expansive Script As Fife works through the details of his early life, his wife Emma is in the same room but also present front and center in an Errol Morris-type Interrotron screen at Fife’s insistence. This allows Fife to confess directly to her. As an audience, without a frame of reference for the truth as Fife, Emma and the documentary crew understand it, some of these confessions become hard to follow.
