Awards and Festivals
Based on Mordecai Richler's award winning novel--his last and, arguably, best - Barney's Version is the warm, wise, and witty story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky, (Paul Giamatti), who meets the love of his life (Rosamund Pike) at his wedding – and she is not the bride. A candid confessional, told from Barney’s point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, taking us through the different “acts” of his unusual history.
