True LoveTrue Love

"The 1989 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner that helped jumpstart the '90s indie movement, Nancy Savoca's True Love is a seminal work of Italian-American cinema. A humorous yet unflinching look at the realities of love and marriage, the film follows Michael and Donna, a young couple preparing for their wedding in an Italian enclave of the Bronx. Through revealing moments in dive bars, pizzerias, and living rooms, the film offers a nuanced meditation on marriage in a world heavily driven by gender norms."--Container.
