Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: You've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over 40 years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes?
Age of CageĀ is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career. Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at - what else? - Cage's expansive filmography.
As Phipps delights in charting Cage's films,Ā Age of CageĀ also chronicles the transformation of film, as Cage's journey takes him through the world of 1980s comedies (Valley Girl,Ā Peggy Sue Got Married,Ā Moonstruck), to the indie films and blockbuster juggernauts of the 1990s (Wild at Heart,Ā Leaving Las Vegas,Ā Face/Off,Ā Con Air), through the video-on-demand world of today.
Sweeping in scope and intimate in its profile of a fiercely passionate artist,Ā Age of CageĀ is, like the man himself, surprising, insightful, funny, and one of a kind. So, snap out of it, and enjoy this appreciation of Nicolas Cage, national treasure.
