“One of the most complete and honest views of marriage that any movie has ever put forth.”
—Jess Rogers, CINEMA AXIS

“Hilarious – the sort of black romantic comedy about unavoidable heartache, ruined opportunities and shattered expectations that leaves you joyfully skipping out of the cinema.”
— Sophia Satchell-Baeza, VICE MAGAZINE

“You have to hand it to Doug
Block. With 112 WEDDINGS he has completed one of the loosest yet
most compelling doc trilogies in recent memory.”
— Marc Glassman, POV MAGAZINE

“112 WEDDINGS is such a good idea for a documentary that I’m stunned it hasn’t been done many, many times before.”
—Matt Zoller Seitz, VULTURE

“BRILLIANTLY CONSTRUCTED, COMPULSIVELY WATCHABLE.”
—Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

Zeitgeist Films is proud to be releasing Doug Block’s acclaimed documentary on DVD and Digital Platforms on July 14 and exclusively on iTunes starting July 7.

For the past two decades, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Doug Block (51 Birch Street, The Kids Grow Up) has helped support himself by shooting weddings. Hired for his intimate documentary style, he found himself emotionally bonding with his wedding couples on their big day, only to send off their videos and never see them again. Many years and 112 weddings later, having long wondered what’s become of their marriages, Block begins to track down some of his favorite couples. Juxtaposing rapturous wedding day flashbacks with remarkably candid present-day interviews, 112 Weddings explores timeless themes of love and marital commitment.

DVD BONUS FEATURES:
* “Heather & Sam Revisited”: an interview two years later
* Q&A with the director and the wedding couples at the film’s HBO premiere
* Theatrical Trailer
* Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired (SDH)
