Film Club: The Wedding Banquet

About Film Club: First off, we encourage talking about Film Club, the informal post-movie discussion led by one of our bona fide Film Club hosts! This week, discussion will be led by Han-'Naeh Belser, a Letterbox'd fiend, film fest programmer, and all around film buff!

About the movie: Remake, with the same screenwriter, of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet, which we showed here 32 years ago! And you liked it, you really liked it.

From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, The Wedding Banquet is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.
