4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, sometimes confusing Kafka-esque comedy/drama, Mar 18 2012

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: NEW Wedding Director (DVD) (DVD)
An esteemed filmmaker goes quietly on the lamb after his assistant jokingly makes inappropriate remarks to a woman he thinks
is an actress waiting for an audition, implicating the director in a sex-scandal. While hiding out in a small town he has his arm
twisted by a local prince into making a film of his daughter's impending wedding.

This film has a lot on its mind about the current state of film-making, not much of it pleasant. Beneath the labyrinthine story levels
lies an angry satire of an industry that reduces artistic directors to no more than metaphoric wedding film makers, and a society that
rewards death over excellence when considering a person's worth. These are only two of the many themes that expand to fathers and
daughters, masculine identity, power games, even the old 'nature of art vs. reality' debate.

Even when baffling with it's magical realism and surrealist touches it's never less than engaging. This is the kind of film that begs you
to come back for a 2nd viewing, and you look forward to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, Beguiling, Ambiguous, Feb 27 2009
By Matt Langdon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Wedding Director (DVD) (DVD)
Bellocchio's films are so beguiling that one is never sure whether to laugh or take them a little bit serious. And I suspect he would want it that way. Ultimately, his films are beautifully shot, playful narratives with some social and political undertones weaved in for fun. Much like his film 'My Mother's Smile' this film has an intriguing tone that is hard to grasp right away but engaging and well directed; it also stars the same actor - Sergio Castellitto.
Hiding out [sort of] in a small town in Sicily a film director gets roped into 'directing' a wedding being held by a local Prince who is marrying off his daughter to someone she does not love. The director falls in love with her and tries to find a way to help her escape her fate.
But plot really cannot do justice to a Bellocchio film.
Without a doubt this is one of the best of the unseen films of 2008. It is artistic and playful in ways that films were in the sixties and seventies when European cinema had a grip on film buffs everywhere.
If you consider yourself an 'art film' fan you should check it out.
