Review of The Birdcage (1996) by Nancy A — 07 Jul 2009
Very funny comedy from director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May. The cast is top-notch, I even got used to Nathan Lane's (maybe the only actor able to make Robin Williams the straight man) flamboyant histrionics rather than them grating on my nerves as the film went on.
It could have moved a bit faster at times, but overall, a sharply-written character-driven comedy. Emmanuel Lubezki's bright, colorful cinematography was an interesting touch.
