Director Andrew Ahn's remake of The Wedding Banquet modernizes the 1993 classic, which depicted the complexities of immigrant life and LGBTQ relationships. Focusing on a close-knit group of friends, the film reexamines issues of identity, family, and parent-child dynamics in a contemporary light. Characters navigate their desires and societal expectations, with Angela's mother, May, playing a significant role as a supportive yet embarrassing ally in the LGBTQ community. Ahn's take highlights societal progress while maintaining the original's charm and emotional depth.
We can get gay-married, why would we want to get fake straight-married? So observed The Wedding Banquet director Andrew Ahn at the world premiere.
