Son of the Bride (2001)

Argentinian restauranteur Ricardo Darín is experiencing a middle aged crisis. He’s being pressured to sell his family’s restaurant, he’s uncertain of his future with his girlfriend, and his elderly father wants his help arranging a church wedding between his father and his Alzheimer’s-stricken mother. Reuniting with a childhood friend and a sudden heart attack help him to reevaluate his priorities. Darín capably anchors the film, but I enjoyed the story most when it focused on his parents instead of the other side plots.

Oscar Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film
