Merci Zaza - La Folle Histoire de la Cage aux Folles
A retrospective look at La Cage aux Folles, the stage phenomenon that ran non-stop for five years from February 1973 at the Théâtre du Palais‑Royal in Paris. In an era when homosexuality was criminalized by law, Poiret and Serrault achieved extraordinary success in boulevard theater. Their triumph carried over to the silver screen, with three Oscar nominations and a Broadway musical. By weaving together never-before-seen archives from the play, excerpts from the film, confessions by Poiret and Serrault, and interviews with witnesses, this is the story of a wild epic.
