La cage

About This Movie

La Cage is quite an interesting piece from '83. It unfolds in two distinct halves, almost like a play, where a homosexual writer dives into his unabashed fantasies, revealing layers of desire and longing. The second part shifts gears, pulling us into this intimate yet collective moment between two men, which feels almost voyeuristic. The atmosphere is thick with tension and an evocative sense of exploration. The pacing has a languid quality that allows you to soak in the nuances of each scene. What stands out for me are the performances and how they capture the unfiltered essence of love and connection, even amidst the complexities of societal norms. It’s a film that doesn't shy away from its themes, yet approaches them with a certain tenderness.
