Product Description

Product Description

Director Mike Nichols remake of La Cage Aux Folles, with Robin Williams as a subdued South Beach night club owner who's forced to ask his flamboyant, drag-queen lover to hide away while his son brings his future in-laws; an ultra-conservative couple for dinner. Hilarious and fresh, also starring Dianne Wiest, Gene Hackman, Hank Azaria and Christine Baranski. Running time: 119 minutes.

Amazon.com

The great improvisational comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May reunited to (respectively) direct and write this update of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles. Robin Williams stars as a gay Miami nightclub owner who is forced to play it straight and ask his drag-queen partner (Nathan Lane) to hide out when Williams's son invites his prospective--and highly conservative--in-laws and fiancée to a meet-and-greet dinner party. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest play the straight-laced senator and his wife, and Calista Flockhart (from television's Ally McBeal) plays their daughter in a culture-clash with outrageous consequences. May's witty screenplay incorporates some pointed observations about the political landscape of the 1990s and takes a sensitive approach to the comedy's underlying drama. Topping off the action is Hank Azaria in a scene-stealing role as Williams's and Lane's flamboyant housekeeper, "Agador Spartacus." --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun

I had somehow missed seeing this for years and finally gave it a watch. The premise is good enough to begin with, but it's the cast that puts it over the top. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are perfect as the lead couple. Lane, of course, is all bluster and outrageousness. Williams is the more serious half in putting the facade over on his son's wedding plans. Hank Azaria has a small part, but almost steals the show. Like any good movie putting over a scam, there are plenty of squirm-in-your-seat moments wondering if the whole thing will blow up. A very fun watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Birdcage: A Hilariously Heartwarming Celebration of Love and Acceptance
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2023
Verified Purchase
The Birdcage, directed by Mike Nichols, is an absolute gem of a film bursting with laughter, heart, and a powerful message of acceptance. With an exceptional cast and a brilliantly written screenplay, this movie effortlessly brings together comedy and social commentary to deliver an entertaining and deeply meaningful experience.

One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its stellar ensemble cast, led by the incomparable Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Williams shines as Armand Goldman, the owner of a popular drag nightclub in South Beach, with his impeccable comedic timing and unmatched ability to effortlessly switch between moments of hilarity and tenderness. Nathan Lane, in a career-defining performance, portrays Albert, Armand's partner and the club's star drag queen. Lane's portrayal of Albert is simply magnificent, delivering uproarious moments while simultaneously capturing a raw vulnerability that beautifully tugs at the heartstrings.

Their chemistry is palpable, and their relationship serves as the core of the film's heartwarming message. The love between Armand and Albert is portrayed with such authenticity and warmth that it transcends gender stereotypes and becomes a universal celebration of love in all its forms. Their journey is a testament to the power of love, acceptance, and the importance of being true to oneself.

Beyond the exceptional performances, the film excels in navigating complex social issues with grace and humor. By exploring the clash between different worlds and societal expectations, The Birdcage raises important questions about the ever-relevant topic of acceptance and tolerance. The script, written by Elaine May, masterfully weaves together comedy and thought-provoking insights, allowing for both laughter and reflection.

The film's pacing is seamless, keeping audiences hooked from start to finish. The comedic moments are brilliantly timed, delivering uproarious laughter that often spills over to tears of joy. The outrageous situations and misunderstandings that arise when Armand and Albert's son, played brilliantly by Dan Futterman, announces his engagement to the daughter of a conservative politician are a constant source of amusement. The result is an outrageously funny farce that leaves audiences grinning from ear to ear.

Additionally, The Birdcage boasts mesmerizing production design, capturing the vibrant and colorful world of South Beach in stunning detail. The flamboyant costumes, the energetic performances, and the pulsating nightlife all contribute to an immersive experience that envelops viewers from the very beginning.

In its entirety, The Birdcage stands as a timeless comedic masterpiece that speaks to the importance of love, acceptance, and the power of laughter in breaking down barriers. Through its unforgettable performances, exceptional screenplay, and its celebration of diversity, the film continues to captivate and inspire audiences, reminding us all to embrace each other's individuality and spread love, tolerance, and understanding.

In a time when acceptance remains a pressing issue, The Birdcage serves as a reminder that the bonds of love and laughter can overcome even the most seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
