A Wedding
1978, 120 minutes, Rated M
Robert Altman, the award-winning director of MASH and Gosford Park, again assembles a stunning ensemble cast for this hilarious story of two very different families drawn together for love... and money.
Driven by a Golden-Globe nominated performance from Carol Burnett, and a remarkable turn by an understated Mia Farrow as the sister of the bride, A Wedding is part comedy of manners, part social farce, as a society wedding deteriorates into inter-tribal chaos.
When a senile celebrant forgets the vows, an upper-crust marrage between Dino Corelli (Desi Arnaz Jr.) and Muffin Brenner (Amy Stryker) gets off to a shaky start: but when the wealthy Corelli and Brenner families converge at the lavish wedding reception, revelations of drug addiction, Mafia connections and infidelities - played out brilliantly within Altman's trademark zoom lens - rise to dramatic, shambolic conclusion. Following his hit Nashville, Altman's riotous take on the institution of marriage was released in 1978 to great critical acclaim and remains a masterpiece of modern filmmaking.
