Roslindale Film Society: The Birdcage (1996)

Join us for a movie night at The Square Root! We are presenting a Mike Nichols blockbuster comedy.

The Birdcage is a 1986 comedy starring Robin Wiliams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, and Dianne Weist. Middle-aged gay life partners, Armand Goldman, a Jewish drag club owner, and Albert, the club’s flamboyant star attraction, live in the eclectic community of South Beach and have raised a straight son. Now, their newly engaged son, 20-year-old Val, wants to bring his fiancée, Barbara, and her ultraconservative parents home to meet his family for the first time. By Val’s request, Armand pretends to be straight, not Jewish and attempts to hide his relationship with Albert, in order to please Barbara’s father, controversial right-wing Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley. RATED R.
