When two marines are charged with murdering a member of their platoon during an unsanctioned disciplinary action in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the armed forces hire a lieutenant they believe is a lightweight defense attorney. Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) prides himself in having successfully plea-bargained every one of his 44 cases and would just as well make this one his 45th. However, ambitious internal affairs officer Lieutenant Commander Jo Ann Galloway (Demi Moore) smells a rat in the form of a hushed-up practice known as Code Red and, furious at Kaffee's halfhearted efforts, gets hired as the younger cadet's defender. Aided by Lt. Com. Galloway's prodding, Lt. Kaffee begins to realize the rottenness of the whole affair and sets to take on the whole Guantanamo Bay marine corps and its codes, a decision that makes inevitable a ferocious head-to-head showdown with an immovable force. Irascible Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson, in one of the most striking performances of his fabled career) heads the Cuban marine base and is on the cusp of appointment to the National Security Council. Jessup embodies both the necessity and the evil in necessary evil and does not take lightly to anyone questioning his or his corps' methods. Aaron Sorkin's script is adapted from his own gripping award-winning Broadway play and is skillfully brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner.

In an unfortunate turn of events this film was released after the sleeper hit GREEN CARD, as it deals with the same exact subject and plot. However, while GREEN CARD succeeds as a romantic-comdey, PAPER WEDDING paints with more subtle strokes, focusing on issues of identity, integrity, and the pain of a 'settling.' Canadian actress Genevieve Bujold gives an exceptional performance as a middle-aged professor, self-possessed and strong, who enters a marriage of convenience with a Chilean political dissident (Manuel Aranguiz) who is faces certain death if he is extradited. When the two are forced to move in together to persuade Immigration Services that they're a genuine couple, a very human connection grows. Reviews Chicago Sun-Times 03/06/1992 '...Thoughtful, honest and affecting....Directed gracefully and with admirable restraint by Michel Brault, PAPER WEDDING speaks quietly but forcefully...'Los Angeles Times 09/20/1991 '...Michael Brault is a filmmaker with an overwhelming talent for evoking the here and now, a talent that streaks through his latest film, A PAPER WEDDING...'New York Times 06/21/1991 '...[A PAPER WEDDING] is given considerable substance by the performance of [Bujold]...'

Director-screenwriter Alan Rudolph once again teams with producer Robert Altman (THE PLAYER) for this haunting, funny film starring Nick Nolte and Julie Christie as a married American couple living in Montreal haunted by the memory of their runaway daughter. Plumber Lucky (Nolte) starts an affair with beautiful young client Marianne (Lara Flynn Boyle), who's desperate to have a baby and stifled by her marriage to her narcissistic husband, Jeffrey (Jonny Lee Miller). Meanwhile, Lucky's wife, former B-movie actress Phyllis (Christie), spends her time looking for their daughter on the streets of Montreal and watching videotapes of her old movies. When she inadvertently finds herself meeting Jeffrey and agreeing to spend the weekend with him, the stage is set for an inevitable showdown among all concerned. This beautifully photographed and brilliantly written film is marked by a stunning, Oscar-nominated performance by Christie, who masterfully combines sexuality, class, and world-weary pain. Nolte is also top-notch, again proving himself one of America's most formidable actors. AFTERGLOW is that rare combination in movies: sexy, funny, intelligent, tragic, and deeply moving.
