Rachel Getting Married

Rachel Getting Married

Blessed with rich, multi-layered characters, unforgettable music and a revelatory performance from Hathaway, Demme's latest feature deftly captures the considerable highs and crushing lows of a complicated American family. After an extended stint in rehab following a major family catastrophe, Kym returns to her picture-perfect Connecticut home town to attend the elaborate wedding of her older sister Rachel. Kym's arrival causes long-festering hurts to resurface, and the Buchmans' family unity is soon hanging by a thread.

Jonathan Demme (65) was born in New York and worked as a publicist before launching his prolific career as a writer, producer and director. In addition to gaining many high-profile honours, he won the Academy Award for best director for "Silence of the Lambs".
