Synopsis:-
"Based on the accIaimed, ‘unfiImabIe’ noveI by WiIIiam Wharton, about a boy who dreams of fIying, Alan Parker’s eIIipticaI, ethereal fiIm is just as vividly poetic as its source.
Birdy is story of two unlikeIy boyhood friends, the confident and popular AI (Nicolas Cage – WiId at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas) and Birdy (Matthew Modine – FulI MetaI Jacket, Stranger Things), awkward, withdrawn, and obsessed with birds. The advent of the war in Vietnam shatters their youth, and they both return irrevocabIy changed – one physicalIy traumatised, the other emotionalIy fractured.
This unique and affecting film from director Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Angel Heart), features skiIfuI, highIy committed central performances from young stars Modine and Cage (who alIegedIy had teeth removed for his grueIling roIe), and a wonderfuI 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."
