Featured review
Forget "Green Card"; see the original
"A Paper Wedding" appears to have been the inspiration for the American movie "Green Card", but it's a subtler, more serious and more satisfying film. A lonely Canadian college professor enters into a marriage of convenience with a Latin American refugee so that he can remain in the country. Pursued by a suspicious immigration official, they're forced to live together and learn about each other. Romantic in a delightfully low-key way.
