Synopsis:- \r
\r
'Based on the acclaimed, \u2018unfilmable\u2019 novel by William Wharton, about a boy who dreams of flying, Alan Parker\u2019s elliptical, ethereal film is just as vividly poetic as its source.\r
\r
\r
\r
Birdy is story of two unlikely boyhood friends, the confident and popular Al (Nicolas Cage \u2013 Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas) and Birdy (Matthew Modine \u2013 Full Metal Jacket, Stranger Things), awkward, withdrawn, and obsessed with birds. The advent of the war in Vietnam shatters their youth, and they both return irrevocably changed \u2013 one physically traumatised, the other emotionally fractured.\r
\r
\r
\r
This unique and affecting film from director Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Angel Heart), features skilful, highly committed central performances from young stars Modine and Cage (who allegedly had teeth removed for his gruelling role), and a wonderful score by Peter Gabriel. Birdy is a great unsung gem of 1980s cinema, and is presented here in a brand-new, director-approved 2K restoration.'\r
