From
Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video
Guide:
Rich, colorful film based on life of Henri
de Toulouse-Lautrec, the 19th century
Parisian artist whose growth was stunted
by childhood accident. Huston brilliantly
captures the flavor of Montmartre, its
characters, and Lautrec's sadly distorted
view of life. Excellent cast; memorable
theme song by Georges Auric. Oscar winner
for its stunning art direction-set
decoration and costumes.

Synopsis: A
contemplative and wise film about the
nature of love and commitment; one in Eric
Rohmer's series, "Six Contes Moraux/Six
Moral Tales". A 35 year-old man who's
engaged to be married for the first time
becomes obsessed with a lovely but shallow
teenager; the particular focus of his
fascination is her knee, which he desires
to touch, however fleetingly. As he
struggles with how -- and whether -- to
fulfill this minor fantasy, he considers
the way his life has turned out and the
kind of bourgeois, settled existence his
friends lead. Calmly and cooly watching
the man's emotional turmoil is the teen's
younger sister, who deeply adores him --
and who, despite her youth, may well
possess more wisdom than he.

Synopsis: A
likable 1977 French farce (and the basis
for the 1996 American remake, The
Birdcage), this popular comedy was one of
the most successful international films of
all time, and even spawned a Broadway
musical and two sequels. It tells the
story of a gay couple who--when one man's
son from a previous liaison brings home
his fiancée--masquerade as husband
and wife for their prospective in-laws.
The film is saved from becoming an
exercise in silliness by the heartfelt
characterizations of the gay nightclub
owners. La Cage aux Folles is one of the
funniest imports from Europe and a great
comedy in any venue. -- Robert
Lane
Annotation:
Academy Award Nominations: Best Director,
Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Costume
Design.
