...the context of Germany on the eve of the Nazi ascent to power makes the entire musical into an unforgettable cry of despair.

The Bowles cycle is a gruesomely instructive guide to our worst show biz conventions.

...It's a dark, sexy beast of a film....Minnelli's Oscar-winning turn is touching and vivacious...

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Cabaret is in some respects a typical feel-good musical, yet it's also so much deeper than that.

No escapist song-and-dance extravaganza, this is a film with a heart of darkness.

Product Description:
The final shot of the hit film CABARET is a Nazi meeting reflected in a mirror, providing the chilling historical subtext for this groundbreaking musical movie, set in prewar Berlin. Not since GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) had Hollywood produced a more successful film. CABARET was a convention-shattering story that dealt with themes like bisexuality that were still under the radar in the US. Additionally, CABARET made the enormously talented Liza Minnelli an American icon.
Minnelli plays Sally Bowles, an aspiring singer and dancer. The main plot revolves around her relationship with two different men and her life as a singer at the Kit Kat Klub. The film utilizes the traditional conventions of American musical theater while adding in the fiendishly painted Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) who comments on the proceedings through song and dance. Director Bob Fosse showcases the range of his vision as a director of stage and screen, serving as both choreographer and musical director.
Based on the Kander-Ebb musical from John van Druten's play I AM A CAMERA (which, in turn, was derived from Christopher Isherwood's novel GOODBYE
TO BERLIN), CABARET was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won eight,
making it one of the most acclaimed films in movie history.
