Amazing,
Fantastic, Hilarious, Fascinating, Solid Acting, Totally Engrossing – This is
how La Cage aux Folles [1978] directed by Édouard Molinaro can be described. An out of this
world performance by Ugo Tognazzi
as Renato Baldi, Michel Serrault as Albin Mougeotte/'Zaza Napoli'.
Meanwhile the looks of Rémi Laurent’s as Laurent Baldi reminds of Ranvir Kapoor!
Though the
beginning was a bit dreary, it picked up later on and was fun consistently.
Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and Albin
(Michel Serrault) are gay couples for more than 20 years.
Albin is the lead "drag
queen" of La Cage aux Folles, a Saint-Tropez nightclub, and Renato, the
more masculine of the two, runs the day-to-day operations of the club.
Many years before, Renato
stepped out of his gay lifestyle long enough to father Laurent (Remi Laurent)
in a one-night stand, and since then both men have raised the boy.
Now, Laurent comes home from
college with the news that he is engaged to Andrea (Luisa Maneri), whose
father, Charrier (Michel Galabru), is the secretary of the rigorously moral
coded Union of Moral Order.
As a result, Andrea has lied
about her future husband’s parentage and told her father that her future father-in-law
was a diplomat. Afterwards what follows ends with riotous funny results.
