The Wedding Banquet is a 1993 romantic comedy film directed, produced and co-written by Ang Lee. The story concerns a gay Taiwanese immigrant man who marries a mainland Chinese woman to placate his parents and get her a green card. However, his plan backfires when his parents arrive in the United States to plan his wedding banquet and he has to hide the truth of his gay partner. Together with Pushing Hands (1991) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994), The Wedding Banquet forms what has been called Lee's "Father Knows Best" trilogy.
Lee's second feature film and his first to get a theatrical release in the United States, The Wedding Banquet premiered at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Bear.
