The Wedding Banquet Cast & Director Discuss Chosen Family, IVF, and Polaroid Memories | Gold Talks

Gold House is proud to present an exclusive Gold Talk with the cast and director of The Wedding Banquet! A day after the film's premiere, moderator and "Las Culturistas" co-host Matt Rogers sat down with stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, and filmmaker Andrew Ahn to discuss the film at length. The reimagining of Ang Lee's 1993 rom-com follows a chosen family of four navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with IVF and can’t afford to pay for another treatment. Meanwhile, their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza. Thank you to our partners Bleecker Street, ShivHans Pictures, and UTA Proud for co-hosting this panel and special evening with us. Catch "The Wedding Banquet" in theaters now.
