The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

Nicolas Cage proves himself utterly immune to mockery by parodying his own OTT persona in this hilarious action/comedy screening at Grassmarket Community Project on 26th April.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

About The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

Nicolas Cage has long become a hilarious parody of himself, the source of a million and one memes and GIFs. In Tom Gormican’s explosive goofball action-comedy he literalises this parodic persona as Nick Cage a cinematic icon caught between an absurd superfan and a dangerous CIA agent.

Notes: (15) Features strong language, drugs misuse, casual acts of violence and brief sex references.
