the first man/opener at the cabaret is just brilliant

One of these movies that made me understand, when I was a teenager, that cinema could be more than pure saturday evening entertainment. Bob Fosse's choreography manages to re-create the so special atmosphere of the early 30's Berlin. Masterpiece.

More like 3.5 stars... It almost was a 4* affair - great Cinematography and especially editing. The situation and time it was set in had so much potential for human drama - but I don't feel it pulled it off. The hedonistic detachment of the 1970's during which it was made really impacted upon this production, and I personally feel it is a lesser movie for it.

Minnelli's change of expression just before the curtain is drawn for her final song is perhaps the best visual metaphor I've ever seen.

... You have to understand the way I am, mein Herr. A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein Herr... - Wonderful musical numbers and an enchanting Liza Minnelli turn this into a real classic.

Splendid musical numbers, beautifully made and acted, but the film falters in the story department when it expects me to see some connection between the ever-so-70s-decadent game of musical beds in the foreground and the rise of the Nazis in the background.

So audacious and strange that I'm amazed that this is considered a mainstream film. Fosse turns the musical on its head, utilizing its songs as a tool of foreboding and dread. By looking at the rise of the Nazi's out of the corner of one's eye instead of directly on, history is given a sense of immediacy.

Brilliant. As simple as that.

Cabaret is campy, grotesque fun that unfortunately wears out its welcome about halfway through -- roughly the same time that Liza Minnelli's performance gets old. The musical numbers are fun and Bob Fosse's direction is good but beyond the Nazi subplot I wasn't all that interested. Entertaining, but seriously overrrated.
