Mozart's music in the movies
16. The Wedding Banquet
You can’t have a film about a wedding without Mozart’s ‘Wedding March’ from Marriage of Figaro somewhere on the soundtrack. Ang Lee, who later went on to direct Brokeback Mountain, presided over this 1993 film about a couple who marry for a green card (the bride) while the groom is walking down the aisle in an attempt to hide his homosexuality from his parents. A chaotic a story as the Mozart’s opera the music came from.
