Cabaret
Directed by Bob Fosse
1972
★ 7.3 editorial score
Fosse solved the problem every musical has: nobody bursts into song from the heart, every number is performed on a stage, and fascism rises quietly outside the room.
“Everybody in "Cabaret" is very fine, and meticulously chosen for type, down to the last weary transvestite and to the least of the bland, blond open-faced Nazis in the background. As for Miss Minnelli, she is sometimes wrong in the details of her role, but so magnificently right for the film as a whole that I should prefer not to imagine it without her.”
