Wedding In Galilee is a richly-detailed allegory of marriage, tradition and national identity. The elder of a Palestinian Village is given permission to hold a traditional wedding for his son on the condition that the Israeli military governor and his staff be guests of honor at the ceremony. This extraordinary first feature from director Michel Khleifi is an erotic and often compelling meditation on two conflicting cultures that attempt to put aside their differences for one long day of celebration.
