From producer Robert Lantos, Barney’s Version is a film based on Mordecai Richler’s prize-winning comic novel with Paul Giamatti in the title role. Filming took place in Montreal, the Laurentians, Rome and New York. Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti) is a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life. Barney’s candid confessional spans four decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver and Rachelle Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman) and a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman).
