DVD Review: Cabaret DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thrilled with this DVD I got via Amazon.
Only question? Why did I wait so long to get it?
No, it's not wide screen but it was under $10 so who cares? It will be some day and then I will get it again.
I live in Portland OR., Not Lexington.
DVD Review: Another Great Deal from Amazon!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a one of a kind experience in that it is interesting, educational, entertaining, and exciting,something most movies try to accomplish and normally do not achieve. The quality of acting, singing, and directing, choreography, everything is top notch. Yes it is a departure from the equally entertaining stage version it is something that trancends film and gives you that theatrical feeling without being taken direct from broadway. The quick pacing that makes modern movie musicals great is evident and maybe orgiginated with Cabaret, one of the greatest musicals, and movies of all time.DVD Review: One great musical
Summary: 5 Stars
I had not seen "Cabaret" since it first came out, and so I wondered how it would survive after all this time. I need not have worried. It is a classic, with some truly shattering performances. Joel Grey is amazing as this kind of ambivalent court jester who comments on history, sociology and human foibles by his presentations in the Kit Kat Club. It is at the same time witty,decadent and horrific.It is one of those performances which one remembers through one's life, as is Liza Minelli's. If ever an Oscar was deserved it was this one. Ms Minelli manages to create in her rendering of Sally Bowles an image of the thirties and at the same time producing a person of depth with an underlying tragedy who gains our complete sympathy while we deplore her life style.It is a beautiful performance. I think if I was to produce a "must see" shortlist "Cabaret" would be right in there.Bob Fosse directed some wonderful, if disturbing , works of great power.DVD Review: Life is a Cabaret!
Summary: 5 Stars
Exactly what I was looking for! Great price and super fast shipping!
Thanks!
Description of Cabaret
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.DVD Features:
Documentary:25th-Anniversary Documentary "Cabaret: A Legend in the Making"
Featurette:"The Recreation of An Era"

Theatrical Trailer
Winner of eight Academy Awards, including Best Director (Bob Fosse), Best Actress (Liza Minnelli), and Best Supporting Actor (Joel Grey), Cabaret would also have taken Best Picture if it hadn't been competing against The Godfather as the most acclaimed film of 1972. (Francis Ford Coppola would have to wait two years before winning Best Director, for The Godfather, Part II.) Brilliantly adapted from the acclaimed stage production, which was in turn inspired by Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories and the play and movie I Am a Camera, this remarkable musical turns the pre-war Berlin of 1931 into a sexually charged haven of decadence. Minnelli commands the screen as nightclub entertainer Sally Bowles, who radiantly goes on with the show as the Nazis rise to power, holding her many male admirers (including Michael York and Helmut Griem) at a distance that keeps her from having to bother with genuinely deep emotions. Joel Grey is the master of ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub who will guarantee a great show night after night as a way of staving off the inevitable effects of war and dictatorship. They're all living in a morally ambiguous vacuum of desperate anxiety, determined to keep up appearances as the real world--the world outside the comfortable sanctuary of the cabaret--prepares for the nightmarish chaos of war. Director-choreographer Fosse achieves a finely tuned combination of devastating drama and ebullient entertainment, and the result is one of the most substantial screen musicals ever made. The dual-layered Special Edition widescreen DVD includes an exclusive 25th-anniversary documentary, Cabaret: A Legend in the Making, a 1972 promotional featurette, a photo gallery, production notes, the theatrical trailer, and more. --Jeff Shannon
