“So La Cage aux Folles. I mean, who didn't love—I love The Birdcage, I love the remake of this film, but this is the one to watch really. Like in 1978 to be telling a story of a gay couple and like this big caper, it's like a gay caper movie. It makes you laugh at the absolute kind of mortification of the way in which people behave, at the deep love that is at the center of it. It's a really brilliant film. It was one of my father's favorite movies.”
