Celebrate Pride Month with a screening of the classic 1996 comedy "The Birdcage!” In this Mike Nichols-directed remake of the classic French farce "La Cage aux Folles," a gay cabaret owner (Robin Williams) and his drag queen companion (Nathan Lane) agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée's right-wing moralistic parents (Gene Hackman & Diane Wiest) as they welcome the unknowing conservative family into their South Beach home for an evening of innuendo, irony, & hilarity. Also starring Calista Flockhart, Dan Futterman, Hank Azaria & Christine Baranski.
“The Birdcage remains a pillar in the landscape of queer cinema. As the film draws to a close and the lively tune of We Are Family fills the dance floor once again, the credits roll and all the film's gay characters are still breathing. Not only that: they're laughing. Twenty-five years later, the characters' laughter, and the laughter they inspire, is a sound of joy and relief that remains a force of healing for LGBTQ+ viewers.” - BBC, Emily Maskel
