(The Canadian Press)- Barney's Version earned critical acclaim and recognition from the Oscars and Golden Globes, but the creative minds who spent years labouring over the film were disappointed by how many people actually saw it.
The Paul Giamatti-starring flick- adapted from legendary Montreal author Mordecai Richler's beloved semi-autobiographical 1997 novel- performed well in Canada and foreign markets, but struggled to find an audience in the U.S.
"It had a great response with those who saw it," said Genie and Emmy-nominated Richard J. Lewis. "I just don't think it was that well marketed or distributed."
He's hopeful Barney will find a second life on DVD and Blu-ray when it's released Tuesday.
