In this hysterical comedy, Armand and Albert have built the perfect life for themselves tending to their gaudy Miami nightclub. But their pastel tranquillity is shaken when Armand's son announces that he's getting married to the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley, and that they're all getting together for dinner. It’ll take the performance of their lives for Armand and Albert to transform themselves into Mr. and Mrs. Family Values just in time.
Based on the French play La Cage Aux Folles, this American remake was masterfully directed by Mike Nichols, alongside a screenplay adapted by his comedic partner in crime Elaine May. Featuring brilliant performances from Robin Williams to Gene Hackman, the film was a huge critical and commercial success and has established itself as an enduring classic in the queer comedy genre.
