Our screening on Saturday 6 September will be introduced by Chris Berry (KCL).

The breakthrough film in the West for Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, The Wedding Banquet is the moving and, for its time, groundbreaking, New York–set story of a gay Taiwanese immigrant, Gao Wai-Tung who marries Wei-Wei, a woman from China, both to help her procure a green card and to convince his parents that he is straight. This creates emotional and practical concerns for his boyfriend, Simon, and increasingly manic complications when Wai-Tung’s parents arrive from Taiwan.
