The Wedding

About This Movie

The Wedding (1982) is this fascinating blend of crime and drama that really captures a certain political tension of its time. It presents a cast of archetypal characters, each with their own distinct quirks, navigating a world that's both gritty and reflective. The pacing has this almost languid feel, but it works to build that tension, pulling you deeper into the narrative. The practical effects, while not the focal point, add a rawness that complements the film’s themes of societal decay and moral ambiguity. Performances are strong, bringing depth to characters you might think you’ve seen before, but here they feel fresh and engaging. It’s not your typical wedding fare, that’s for sure.
