The Birdcage

Take off your shoes and don't forget the shrimp, it's time for The Birdcage! Michelle's June pick is one of her childhood favorites, and we discuss the play and French film that this version is based on, Nathan Lane's Albert as the heart of the film, Gene Hackman's incredibly repressed performance, our complicated feelings towards Val and what still works in the film 30 years later.
