RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

Group dynamics in
the modern American family is Jonathan Demme’s focus in Rachel Getting
Married
. Rachel’s sister Kym (Anne Hathaway), the absentee black sheep,
returns to the Buchman family home, bringing with her the fallout of
dysfunction that, among other things, her drug addiction has brought her to,
and so is the recriminating and killjoy cat among the festive pigeons for the
wedding weekend. It’s no surprise that Demme’s mentor is Robert Altman and that
master director’s trademarks-large ensemble cast, overlapping dialogue, rich
characterisation-are played out to a similarly convincing effect. The vitality
and intensity of the multicultural interplay are captured brilliantly in the
collisions the get-together implies. Hathaway is hotly tipped for Oscar glory.
‘Both deceptively modest and deeply resonant’ (New York Daily News). ‘A
mess’ (Time).
