Who is Barney Panofsky?
Based on the novel by Mordecai Richler, “Barney’s Version” tells of a character very unconventional, uncomfortable and politically incorrect. Don’t miss this film if you are used to watch free movies online.
Barney Panofsky is not a good person one might say. Self-centered and selfish, act on the impulse of the moment and has the conviction to be on the side of reason every time. No one more than Paul Giamatti, the “sad sack” of American cinema would be able to bring to the screen a character so complex. The movie “Barney’s Version” is largely based on the extraordinary contribution of this actor.
The cast is generally more than appropriate for this movie, we can find an extraordinary Dustin Hoffman in the part of Barney’s father and even a cameo by David Cronemberg.
With a length of more than two hours the director Richard J. Lewis built an authentic Barney biography, that has no place in the “official history” and in which there is no room for another point of view than that of the protagonist. An enjoyable film, suddenly illuminated by flashes of happiness, like a long journey in the company of Paul Giamatti.
