La Cage aux Folles II

La Cage aux Folles II is a 1980 French comedy film and the sequel to 1979s La Cage aux Folles. It is directed by douard Molinaro and stars Michel Serrault as Albin, stage name ZaZa, the female impersonator star of a gay nightclub revue, and Ugo Tognazzi as Renato, his partner of over twenty years.

The film was favorably reviewed by the critic Pauline Kael in The New Yorker La Cage aux Folles II has nothing to do with the art of movies, but it has a great deal to do with the craft and art of acting, and the pleasures of farce. Serrault gives a superb comic performance his Albin is a wildly fanciful creation. Theres a grandeur about Albins inability to see himself as he is. And maybe its only in this exaggerated form that a movie about the ridiculousness and the tenderness of married love can be widely accepted now. At the end, after Albin has been kidnapped by the spies, Renato, who is nearby with the police, cant think of anything but his beloved Albin. And, suddenly, forgetting the danger, each starts running toward the other, and they meet between the two armed groups like lovers in an opera. One of the policemen watching their embrace is weeping. Its beautiful, he says.
