Paul Schrader's new film Oh Canada stars Richard Gere as a feted documentary filmmaker at the end of his life who's asked to reminisce on camera by some former students -- this involves lots of flashbacks where he is played by an astonishingly hot Jacob Elordi, who proves once again my thesis that:

No but for real though.
I don't think even Emerald Fennell leered at Jacob in Saltburn as much as Paul does here. (And I am fairly certain the above shot in the movie has less sheet covering Jacob's bum than what is shown above -- that's either another take or a CG sheet for the trailer's sake!) Anyway that's why we love slash are confounded by Paul -- I mean I haven't even gotten to the jockstrap scene. But yes I saw this at NYFF and didn't get around to reviewing it but I liked it -- more than a lot of people seemed to, actually. I need to give it a second view because film festivals are so brutal and this is a slow, meditative, talky movie. But I think it's worth a watch. Here's the trailer:
Oh Canada is out on December 6th.

Please tell us about the jockstrap scene? Good or wasted opportunity? Saw On Swift Horses but he didn’t get naked, only Will Poulter and Diego Calva.
There's a close-up of the front of the jockstrap where he's scribbled Peace symbols - it's a weigh-in scene for the draft, which he is attempting to dodge. You see him in a line of guys in their underwear, wearing the jock from across the room. He is so skinny and tall that he doesn't have much of an ass tbh. It's not a world ending jock scene but I do look forward to seeing that shot of the front of the jock again because it is sudden and I wasn't prepared for it.
WAIT...Poulter gets naked?!
Thanks Jason, looking forward to see it. And yes, Poulter shows his butt twice in the movie.
