The Birdcage (1996)
Rating: R
Runtime: 117 minutes
Description: Armand Goldman owns the glamorous drag nightclub The Birdcage in South Beach, Miami, where his longtime partner Albert is the star performer. Their comfortable life is turned upside down when Armand’s son Val announces he’s engaged to Barbara, the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Kevin Keeley. To avoid scandal, Val begs Armand and Albert to pretend to be straight for one disastrous dinner party when Barbara’s parents come to visit. What follows is a hilarious comedy of errors as Albert reluctantly agrees to hide, only to return disguised as Val’s mother, leading to an unforgettable evening of mistaken identities and culture clashes. Robin Williams stars as Armand with Nathan Lane as the flamboyant Albert, alongside Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest as the conservative senator and his wife, and Hank Azaria as their eccentric housekeeper Agador. Directed by Mike Nichols, this remake of the French film La Cage aux Folles became a beloved comedy that balances sharp wit with genuine heart, celebrating love, family, and the courage to be yourself.
