Stan CareyI was underwhelmed by Elaine May's film "Mikey and Nicky", though it's something of a cult favourite, so it took me a while to return to her work. I'm glad I did:
"A New Leaf" and "The Heartbreak Kid" are comedy gems, somehow both goofy and darkish, and filled with great performances – by Walter Matthau, May herself, Jeannie Berlin (May's daughter), Charles Grodin...
Well worth seeking out if you haven't seen them.

French Cinema & Subtitles🎬 The Birdcage (1996)
A hugely successful American remake of the classic French farce *La Cage aux Folles* (1978), itself based on Jean Poiret’s 1973 play, and the later sequels *La Cage aux Folles 2* and *La Cage aux Folles 3*. Mike Nichols’ film brings the story to Miami with Robin Williams & Nathan Lane navigating love, acceptance, and politics with big laughs and heart.

Rob Christopher3 things about Elaine May’s A NEW LEAF [1971]
1. Two or three times a week.
2. “Marriage? You mean to a woman?”
“Yes, sir. That is what I had in mind. It’s the only way to acquire property without labor.”
3. Lost frond.

DOROI could watch this film again and again if I wasn’t so devastated afterwards, Elaine May’s existential and heartbreaking masterpiece about friendship and masculinity, Mikey and Nicky. I’m always in awe of her direction and the superb performances by long-time personal friends John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. The film was shot entirely at night and the grain is crazy, but this is New Hollywood, so we don’t care.
