The Wedding Guest
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Produced by India Take One, Revolution Films
A tense, morally murky thriller about a kidnapper and his captive on the run through South Asia, built on suspense and the gradual revelation of hidden motives.
Jay is a man with a secret who travels from Britain to Pakistan to attend a wedding—armed with duct tape, a shotgun, and a plan to kidnap the bride-to-be. Jay and his hostage end up on the run across the border and through the railway stations, back alleys, and black markets of New Delhi.
