A Wedding
When two families meet at a wedding – a Southern nouveau-riche uncouth clan with Northern though impoverished aristocrats – it makes for a film full of irony, tragedy, moral observations, and, ultimately, an unparalleled description of hypocrisy. It features 48 characters including the veteran icon Lillian Gish as a senior of the family.

Robert Altman
Distinguished director, screenwriter and producer Robert Altman was born in 1925 and died in 2006 having made several dozen cinema and television films. The breakthrough in his career came with the anti-war satire MASH, in which he presented a community in typical Altman style that characterises his very best work – based on episodic narration and innovative montage of image and sound. Altman often uses irony to show how society’s traditional roles, social conventions and cultural myths condition people.
