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, when the ultraconservative parents of Renato's son's fiancee come for a visit. A French farce about the importance of nonconformity and being true to oneself that inspired the major Broadway musical and the movie remake The Birdcage.
Blu-ray; widescreen (1.66:1) presentation; Dolby digital mono.
Contents: Cage aux folles.
