Wedding in White
A harsh and note-perfect portrayal of small-town Ontario during World War II. Naive and withdrawn, teenage Jeannie (Kane) is utterly inexperienced with men until she meets Billy (McGrath), a soldier friend of her brother’s, when they come home on furlough. The sexual assault that ensues – and its tragic consequences – throw the family into turmoil as they navigate the mores of the times and their community.
Driven by incredible performances and direction, this acclaimed Canadian classic claimed three Canadian Film Awards including Best Feature Film.
“One of the most merciless, strangely touching portraits of character I’ve ever seen in a movie.” – Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
