Barney's Version | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

The story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), who meets the love of his life 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. There is his first wife (Rachelle Lefevre), a flagrantly unfaithful free spirit; his second wife (Minnie Driver), a wealthy Jewish Princess and his third wife, Miriam (Rosamund Pike), the mother of his two children and his true love. With his father, Izzy (Dustin Hoffman) as his sidekick, Barney takes us through his long and gloriously full life, played out on a grand scale. Based on Mordecai Richler's Giller Prize winning best seller.
