Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 1989 – in a competition that included Sex, Lies, and Videotape – this story of an Italian-American wedding is Nancy Savoca’s impressive feature directorial debut.
A young couple, Michael (Ron Eldard, Black Hawk Down) and Donna (Annabella Sciorra, The Sopranos), are frantically preparing for their wedding in the Bronx. Before they make it down the aisle, they must face the societal pressure and gender expectations that dictate their every move – not to mention their own commitment issues. Set in dive bars, pizzerias, and living rooms, True Love offers a nuanced and funny meditation on modern marriage. This seminal work heralded the arrival of a fresh voice in cinema and marked an important contribution to the ’90s indie movement.
