Cabaret, the Movie Musical

Cabaret
One of the best movie musicals ever! Worth all the 8 Oscars it received in 1972. Liza Minnelli, Michael Your and Joel Grey are unforgettable in this story of 1931 Berlin, when the Nazis were coming to power. You laugh, you cry, you fear for the worst... The music thrills you, shocks you, touches you... An experience of a life time. This movie never gets old- you'd think it was made yesterday. I strongly recommend- you will not regret!

Can you say "classic"!

BRILLIANT is another word for this flick. Classic actors going all out in their performances! The music numbers are amazing as is the choreography and costumes. I only wish I could be as fabulous as Liza!

first rate on many levels

I have not seen this in 35 years, and I was utterly enthralled to see it again. There are so many ways to see this films that it has got to be one of the best I have ever seen. First, there is the historical reconstruction, a snapshot of a very difficult period in late Weimar, which would result in Hitler's regime. Even the images in the film reflected art from the period: you see images by Grosz and many others appearing in subtle glimpses.

Second, there is the drama of the two young lovers. I did not notice the first time that the York character is sexually ambiguous, and that his ambivalence towards a relationship with Sally may be due to his actual orientation. Of course, Sally Bowles is one of the great new character types created by the film: a loose woman who is actually extremely vulnerable and trying to be tough. She hold back from commitments yet needs them, openly uses her body to advance her career, and also sees her own limitations and hence chooses illegal abortion. At the time, this combination was psychological dynamite, really pioneering stuff, and I saw a lot more in them as a middle-aged man.

Third, there is the music. To say it is wonderful is an understatement. Minelli is one of the greatest talents that has ever come out of a Hollywood dynasty. The best. Interestingly, I heard an interview with Isherwood's long-time partner. He said that Bowles was an amateur in the original book, not the phenomenal talent that the film uses to traduce the character.

I got this because my daughter (13) loves musicals and is developing into a singer. As a parent, I feel a bit wary about the sophistication and bawdiness of the film, which is more explicit than I feel comfortable with, but then, she knows about these things. We will no doubt watch this so much together that we will memorize it.

Recommended with enthusiasm.

A classic Liza Minnelli in a stylized unforgetable performance

Liza Minnelli at her peak in a performance that showcases her acting, singing while surrounded by an excellent cast. It is not your typical musical that you can sit down with family and watch, but still bound to be a classic. Good direction and strong performances that are visually enhanced by costumes, scenery and a great music score.

Willkommen bienvenue welcome to Cabaret. The winner of eight Academy Awards it boasts a score by the legendary songwriting partnership behind another film that would energize the movie musical genre with equal razzle-dazzle 30 years later: Chicago's John Kander and Fred Ebb. Inside the Kit Kat Club of 1931 Berlin starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish emcee (Joel Grey) sound the clarion call to decadent fun while outside a certain political party grows into a brutal force. Cabaret caught lightning (and won Oscars) for Minnelli Grey and director Bob Fosse who shaped a triumph of style and substance. Come to this Cabaret old chum. You'll never want to leave.Running Time: 110 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS UPC: 085392798629
