Roundtable with The Cast Behind The Wedding Banquet (2025) by Andrew Ahn
“Fire Island” director Andrew Ahn releases his first foray into writing-directing with “The Wedding Banquet,” which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. The film is co-written with James Schamus, who also worked on Ang Lee‘s original 1993 romantic comedy of the same name. While Lee’s remake featured a green card marriage between a wealthy gay man and his tenant to maintain his New York lifestyle and heteronormative image to his Taiwanese parents, Ahn’s “The Wedding Banquet,” this time, takes place on the opposite coast, and adds a Korean American twist.
“The Wedding Banquet” opens in Seattle and immediately pulls out all the stops. Second-generation Chinese American, Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) is happily partnered to Lee (Lily Gladstone), a vocal LGBTQ+-activist. She is only surrounded by friends and family who love her, and seem to have her best interests at heart. Her best friend, queer studies Ph.D.
