THE BIRDCAGE: Special Presentation!
Get ready to pierce the toast! The Film Junkies are going to smear you with laughter, as we host two special presentations of THE BIRDCAGE.
From director Mike Nichols (THE GRADUATE, WORKING GIRL), comes 1996’s South Florida-set comedy classic, THE BIRDCAGE starring the late-great Robin Williams and Gene Hackman. We are thrilled to be hosting two screenings on Saturday, June 28 at 10pm and Sunday, June 29 at 4pm. Join us at The Gateway Theater in Fort Lauderdale.
In this remake of the classic French farce “La Cage aux Folles,” engaged couple Val Goldman (Dan Futterman) and Barbara Keeley (Calista Flockhart) shakily introduce their future in-laws. Val’s father, Armand (Robin Williams), a gay Miami drag club owner, pretends to be straight and attempts to hide his relationship with Albert (Nathan Lane), his life partner and the club’s flamboyant star attraction, so as to please Barbara’s father, controversial Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley (Gene Hackman).
“The beauty of The Birdcage is that its jokes and its message are one and the same. These characters couldn’t change themselves if they tried. And only a fool would want them to.” – Entertainment Weekly
