La cage aux folles
Edouard Molinaro / FR, IT, 1978 / 97 min.
International box office hit about the owner of a notorious nightclub in Saint-Tropez and his partner who, in a series of perfectly timed comedic scenes, try to hide their gay lifestyle from ultra-conservative possible future in-laws.
Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and Albin (Michel Serrault) are a middle-aged gay couple. Renato owns and Albin is the star at their extravagant drag club in Saint-Tropez. They decide to hide their sexual preferences, flamboyant personalities and loud interior when Renato's son’s ultra-conservative in-laws come to visit. This precipitates a wild, heartwarming and ultimately subversive French farce about the importance of non-conformity and staying true to yourself.
