If you loved Mein Jahr in New York, try Oh, Canada
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.

What Oh, Canada is
*Adaptation of Russell Banks's novel.* A dying filmmaker grants a final interview to demythologize his life. His secrets include fleeing to Canada to avoid the Vietnam War draft. Schrader's late-period work feels like a thematic bookend.
