The Wedding (2004 film)

"The Wedding" ("Wesele" in Polish) is a darkly comic film made in 2004 in Poland. Directed by Wojtek Smarzowski.

Plot

Janusz marries Kasia.

The father of the bride, Wieslaw Wojnar, gives Janusz a brand-new-looking Audi. Wojnar has to pay several people off so that the wedding celebration can proceed smoothly. This includes securing a plot of land from his father-in-law, who is spending a lot of time in the men's room.

One of Kasia's old lovers shows up, but he's not interested in getting money out of Wojnar, as the others are.

Comment

"Wesele" is a satire on Polish mentality, as well as focusing on humanity's faults and vices - chiefly greed.
