Synopsis:
An incredibly subtle but powerful romance, the plot of A Paper Wedding: is deceptively simple: Claire (Genevieve Bujold), a 39-year-old university professor, is professionally occupied but not stimulated. Bored with her long term affair with a married man, she is persuaded by her lawyer sister to enter into an marriage of convenience with a Chilean political refugee (Manuel Aranguiz) who would be granted asylum. Pablo faces imprisonment or worse if he is forced to return to his homeland. After the wedding, the newlyweds shake hands and return to their former lives until an over-eager immigration agent begins to pursue them. Claire and Pablo are forced to live together and explore each other's pasts in order to convince a judge of the validity of their marriage. In the process, their defenses slowly break down, their shared shyness abates, and they come to realize how much they care for each other. The film concerns an arranged marriage between a Canadian college professor and a Hispanic immigrant man who is in the country illegally and is being pursued by a Robert-Mitchum-type immigrations officer. The professor's sister happens to be the legal counsel for the immigrant, and talks her sister into agreeing to the marriage. In order to pass the required court interview to determine if the marriage is "real" as opposed to a legal contrivance, the couple must learn a great deal about each other in a short time. The more they learn, the more they see each other as human beings--and attractive ones at that. This film's good qualities are more subtle than obvious, and are often visual rather than verbal, as we watch the play of emotion on the actors' faces. The color film quality is quite grainy and soft-focused, and handheld cameras are used a lot, giving it a quasi documentary quality.
