Synopsis
Holy Matrimony (1994) is an American crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Leonard Nimoy. Havana (Patricia Arquette) and her boyfriend Peter pull a cash robbery at an amusement park, then disappear into the Hutterite community where Peter grew up — a strict religious colony with no television, no makeup, no exceptions.
Then Peter dies in a car accident. Under Hutterite custom, his widow must marry his younger brother to remain in the community. That brother is twelve. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Zach with a deadpan seriousness that makes the whole situation funnier; Armin Mueller-Stahl is the community elder who enforces the tradition without blinking. Havana has to play along — the stolen money is hidden somewhere in the colony, and she has no idea where. The comedy runs on the gap between her world and theirs, which is wide enough to sustain the film's compact runtime.
Lightweight and cheerfully absurd. Stream Holy Matrimony online on iFILM.
