The Wedding Banquet15

Directed by Andrew Ahn | USA | 2025 | 1h 43m | Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Joan Chen, Youn Yuh-jung

In a bid to stay in the country, a gay man strikes a deal with his lesbian best friend: he’ll fund her costly IVF treatment if she marries him for a green card. But their plan takes an unexpected turn when his grandmother announces her arrival, along with elaborate plans for a traditional Korean wedding. Directed by Andrew Ahn, this vibrant comedy of errors reimagines Ang Lee’s 1993 classic as a modern celebration of chosen family, cultural identity, and the beautiful chaos of queer love and family expectations.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
