Trivialidades:

Robert Altman admits that the whole production of the film came as a joke. A reporter had asked him what he planned to do next and he jokingly said that he was going to film someone's wedding, seeing as that was becoming a more common thing to do at the time. As he reflected on it, he decided it was actually quite a good idea, as he had never been to a wedding where something didn't go wrong.

It seems, I am one of the few commenters who think this movie very funny. Maybe it is, because I am not American. In my opinion A wedding is a great spoof of American culture. It is not a prerogative of the English to keep up appearances. Maybe it is just my weird sense of humour. There are few things as funny as people trying the best they can to run everything smoothly and perfectly, just because decencey commands it, and failing. Altman mercilessly shows the inevitable result: hypocrisy. This is what happens, when people deny human shortcomings. That's why I think A wedding is not typical a 70's movie, but has enduring qualities. Compared to Gosford Park it is easy to follow all the subplots. I like A wedding even better than Mash.
