My First Wedding

Directed by Ariel Winograd

Written by Patricio Vega

Argentina, 2011

Grooms on their wedding day usually consider themselves the luckiest man in the world, but in Ariel Winograd’s My First Wedding, nothing can be further from the truth. Filled with humour, heart, cynicism, and misadventure, My First Wedding’s whirlwind narrative culminates into a perfect storm of marriage clichés.

The betrothed in question are Adrián (Daniel Hendler), a non-practicing Jew, and Leonora (Natalia Oreiro), a quasi-practicing Catholic. With the ceremony already balancing a precarious equilibrium (see previous sentence), Adrián inadvertently knocks it off kilter when he accidently loses the wedding rings, and as the wedding comes crashing down around him, Adrián must try to remedy the situation without furthering the ire of his wife-to-be.

My First Wedding initially feels formulaic, presenting itself as the marital equivalent of Death at a Funeral. The catalyst for the initial comedy »
