Mirror Mirror

Heavily influenced by the French stage sensation La Cage Aux Folles which was filmed the very same year this trite dragqueen comedy about a group of homosexuals sharing an apartment with a naive but straight country boy did not live up to expectations The lead characters lead boring lives during the day and as depicted here downright pathetic existences at night all decked out in peacock plumes and high heels and with nowhere to go Several of the performances especially Fritz Helmuth as the lovestarved aptly named Bent manage to reach a little beyond the stereotypes but Bodil Kjær of all people delivers a simply dreadful and onenote parody of a onceglamorous movie star
