MOVIE | The Wedding Banquet release date announced – The Wedding Banquet is a joyful, exuberant and fresh take on the romantic comedy genre featuring an acclaimed and hilarious cast of multigenerational talent.
Based on Ang Lee’s award-winning 1993 film of the same name, Director Andrew Ahn (Fire Island, Driveways) reimagines THE WEDDING BANQUET to explore LGBTQIA+ problems of a new kind in the 21st century; overbearing parents, marriage and having children. Set in Seattle, the reimagining remains firmly rooted in the Asian American experience and explores the beauty of found family.
Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. Their plans are upended, however, when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet to celebrate their nuptials.
A firm favourite at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, THE WEDDING BANQUET takes audiences on a poignant, unforgettable, and unexpected journey through friendship, family, and identity.
STARRING: BOWEN YANG (Wicked), LILY GLADSTONE (Killers of the Flower Moon), KELLY MARIE TRAN (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), HAN GI-CHAN (Where Your Eyes Linger), JOAN CHEN (Didi) and YOUN YUH-JUNG (Minari)
THE WEDDING BANQUETWILL BE RELEASED IN CINEMAS ACROSS AUSTRALIA FROM 8 MAY 2025
