Schrader's latest drama comes to UK/ROI VOD in January.

Writer/director Paul Schrader reunites with his American Gigolo leading man Richard Gere for Oh, Canada, adapted from the novel by Russell Banks. The film sees Gere play Leonard Fife, a documentary filmmaker who fled to Canada during the Vietnam War. In his dying days, Leonard agrees to allow a film crew record his final testimony, but his memories prove unreliable.

Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, Jacob Elordi, Victoria Hill and Kristine Froseth also star.

A year after its US release, Oh, Canada finally hits UK/ROI VOD on January 12th, 2026.

Check out the trailer and poster below.

The official synopsis reads:

Ailing filmmaker Leonard Fife (Richard Gere) 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 reputed avoidance of the Vietnam War draft and his past relationships harbour thorny truths. When Leonard sits for a filmed interview, with his wife Emma (Uma Thurman) present, his unruly stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) unleash revelations about the man behind the myth.
