The Wedding Banquet (1993)


















































The Wedding Banquet (1993)
Director: Ang Lee

I have great respect for Ang Lee as a director and his works. I was spell bound with Sense and Sensibility and then the saga continued. His versatility is incredible. The Wedding Banquet, draws a lot of parallel to plots from Bollywood movies; however the subtle treatment of the subject is remarkable. It is also my first in depth insight to Chinese/Taiwanese culture and its blend with modernity.

There was a lot of humor in the movie, which I guess made it popular as mainstream.
