Say yes to the destruction.

From the poster girl for the wreck - so does a career leap from. In the case of Anne Hathaway, which were previously only knew from Kinoromanzen. Now she shines in "Rachel's Wedding" as an alcoholic who disturbed their environment and challenges.

 

To the beautiful Villa Kunterbunt have gathered musicians everywhere is plucked, geträllert and geklimpert. How should one because damn it all to rest his neuroses desire?

So roars Kym (Anne Hathaway) the wedding guests through the window of her room black angemalt to youth, they should finally keep the muzzle. Then bepöbelt the bridesmaid, triezt sister and humiliated his father.

No, Kym is not necessarily a dream guest for a wedding. But because her sister Rachel (Rose Marie DeWitt) marries, has a dry alcoholic three days starting from the withdrawal clinic received.

That is so special about the tragicomic family study "Rachel's Wedding": Unlike other dramas of this kind is not a festive gathering used as a backdrop from which the repressed hervorbricht unexpectedly. There are no hidden tangle of blame. The psychological war, he rages, especially in Kym.

Leichthändig undermined the director Jonathan Demme, the usual analogy of the family as a displacement device. The clan in this drama is open-minded and enlightened. An amusing bunch of East Coast Ökos - that is the counterpart to the petty suburban families, where else in the Middle American Portraits encountered. The message is: Even the freisinnigste environment protects against trauma not.

Instead denunciatory on foreign milieu to show that the filmmaker and his screenwriter Jenny Lumet (daughter of director Sidney Lumet Altstars) the act into genuine artist relocated environment.

Hathaway would have the deserves Oscar

Demme, who is concerned with social dramas such as "Philadelphia" as well as with classically become Popdokumentationen such as "Stop Making Sense" has made a name, then as a true parade of friends and colleagues who are sometimes even play.

Because Rachel's husband (played by Tunde Adebimpe, the singer of indie-Stars TV On The Radio) musician, has an entire squad of joyous celebration bohemians arrived. Fab 5 Freddy, also in real life hiphoppers, raps a little and the Jamaican dancehall queen Sister Carol East society animated dance. Jazzsaxophonisten play bebop, and later in the night creates a samba troupe going.

Between the wedding guests plenty of people like the punk veteran Robyn Hitchcock, or the B-movie mogul Roger Corman, with his first film Demme turned.

But there is never a false glamor On. You drink to the bride and groom, distributes itself over time during the day with games and comic keeps the evening more or less felicitous speeches. So Demme drama as a mixture of a shaky video and a wedding ensemble work of Robert Altman.

Only Kym, this junkie nightmare in purple evening dress, is lost among the other and allows each tentative approach fail. Cinematographer Declan Quinn follows the heroine through sad and happy turmoil brings staggering hand-held camera exactly in those moments of silence, in which the whole trauma of this family opens.

Approximately when Kym on her father, now separated from the mother (Debra Winger) receives, in its elegant Schmallippigkeit cruelly hostile acts. Or if the eulogy to the bride on the eve of the big celebration in a speech about his own alcohol addiction transforms.
