Age of Cage : four decades of Hollywood through one singular career
Nicolas Cage has been called a lot of things. Icon. Celebrity. Artist. Madman. Has-Been. Genius. Love him, or laugh at him, one thing is certain: you've seen one of his nearly 100 films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really? Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at, what else?, Cage's expansive filmography. As Phipps charts Cage's films, Age of Cage also chronicles the transformation of Hollywood, from the teen comedies of the 1980s (Peggy Sue Got Married and Valley Girl), to the indie and blockbuster scene of the 1990s (Moonstruck, Face/Off, Wild at Heart), through the video-on-demand world of today. Sweeping in scope and intimate in its portrait of a fiercely passionate man and artist, AGE OF CAGE is, like the man himself, surprising, insightful, funny, and one of a kind.
