EN EXCLUSITIVÉ. 

Documentariste américain dont l'oeuvre engagée est mondialement célébrée, Leonard Fife se meurt d'un cancer. Avant de partir, il insiste pour accorder une dernière entrevue à deux de ses anciens étudiants, depuis sa maison du Vieux Montréal. Leonard tient à déboulonner un mythe qui lui colle à la peau: son arrivée au Canada en 1968 en tant que déserteur opposé à la guerre du Vietnam. Au fil de sa confession filmée, son épouse Emma, également présente dans la pièce à sa demande expresse, entend des choses choquantes sur le passé peu glorieux de cet homme qu'elle croyait si bien connaître.

EXCLUSIVITY.

Legendary filmmaker Leonard Fife (Richard Gere), still a force to be reckoned with despite his age and declining health, wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it’s too late. As the director of acclaimed documentary exposés, he is a political hero to many, but his past harbors dark secrets and thorny truths. Leonard agrees to sit for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond. At Leonard’s insistence, his wife and artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), bears witness to it all. His successes are held up against his failings and, as the man is cleansed of the myth, Leonard must confront what is left. More than 40 years after American Gigolo, writer-director Paul Schrader reunites with Richard Gere for this moving and deeply personal tale of an artist reflecting on a lifetime of storytelling.
