The Wedding Banquet
Originally released: 1993
In this sophisticated sophomore outing, Lee takes on the Sunday afternoon of films: screwball wedding comedy. Unlike My Best Friend's Wedding, Hollywood's attempt to camp it up, here it's the groom who's gay. For starters. Caught between the demands of a traditional Taiwanese family and the possibilities of his new life in America, our hero loses his head trying to follow his heart, and proposes to a young artist who needs a green card. Enter the parents and paraphernalia of a family wedding. With lashings of fab food, cute boyfriends, awkward situations and a charming ending, you can keep all of the people happy all of the time. Be free to feel good.
