Review by Jack Gattanella
Cage aux folles, La (1978)
One of the best comedies (not only foreign films) ever made
I say that except in a few cases, the original never dissappoints. This is a prime example of that. The perfect French comedy about a gay couple, who have a son (It's one of theirs) who is getting married. Since the son's in laws are stuck up rich people, they have to hide they're gayness for one night. Great (and hilarious) entertainment may have been later re-done, but it can never be matched. One of the best foreign (and comedic) films ever made. A+
