(BIRDS OF A FEATHER, Edouard Molinaro, 1978 France/Italy, 91 min., 35mm, French with subtitles)

One of the most successful foreign films ever to play the US, this uproarious farce later inspired a Broadway musical and the American adaptation, The Birdcage. Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and his star performer and lover Albin (Michel Serrault) live above their successful drag queen nightclub “La Cage Aux Folles.” The gay duo hatch a scheme to present Albin as a woman in order to impress the conservative future in-laws of Renato’s straight son.
