La Cage aux Folles (1978) [French with English subtitles] - Michel Serrault, Ugo Tognazzi

Renato and Albin, a middle-aged gay couple who are the manager and star performer at a glitzy drag club in Saint Tropez, agree to hide their sexual identities, along with their flamboyant personalities and home decor, when the ultra-conservative parents of Renato’s son’s fiancée come for a visit. This elegant comic scenario kicks off a wild and warm-hearted French farce about the importance of non-conformity and being true to oneself. A breakout art house smash in America, Edouard Molinaro’s 'La Cage aux Folles' inspired a major Broadway musical and the blockbuster remake 'The Birdcage'. But with its hilarious performances and ahead-of-its-time social message, there’s nothing like the audacious, dazzling, original movie.
