   Is the Birdcage a gay movie?

   • Dianne Wiest has an above-the-title credit, for God’s sakes. Of course The Birdcage is a gay movie. Its leading couple is gay, the plot hinges on a gay secret, and there’s lots of drag and swishing and short shorts. There’s no actual sex, or even too many sexual allusions, but much of the dialogue feels gay – its rhythms and references are gay.

   Is the Birdcage a good movie?

   • The Birdcage is a little film with knee-slapping scenes coupled with thoughtfully acute moments as well. Amongst all the hilarity, there are also some poignant moments in the film - when the audience is reminded that the underlying themes in this story are love, acceptance, and support. You can be giggling one second and then tearing up the next.

   Is 'the birdcage' still relevant?

   • Released 25 years ago this week, Nichols' film, a remake of the 1978 French film La Cage aux Folles, about a gay couple hosting an ill-fated dinner party, remains remarkably relevant in its comedic sensibilities. On one level, The Birdcage was a universal, very mainstream comedy, that earned close to $200 million at the international box office.

   Will there be a 'birdcage' remake?

   • Now comes the remake of the most seductive target, the comedy "La Cage aux Folles" (1978), which is about a gay man whose son wants him to play it straight for a few days. All of this will be familiar if you've seen the original, or the two sequels, or the Broadway version. "The Birdcage" isn't about plot, anyway.

   Is the Birdcage based on a true story?

   • The Birdcage is based on La Cage Aux Folles, a 1978 French farce that was also unexpectedly popular in America, and I find vastly inferior to the American remake. (It might be a language thing – for all I know, the screenwriter of La Cage is the French Elaine May and I just don’t get the jokes.)
