"He came for Mishima, so it's been a long time since he's been back. Paul Schrader is a great screenwriter, director and Bressonian cinephile. This will be the last filmed screenplay by Russell Banks, who passed away last year. Richard Gere and Uma Thurman play the characters in this funereal - but not sad - comedy about aging, about looking back on one's youth, about looking back on one's life, and what were the occurrences and mistakes one might have made," Thierry Frémaux detailed at the festival's customary press conference.
