kz917-1 Welcome to the Kit Kat Club with all the dancing, debauchery, and drama!Fantastic song & dance interspersed with a dramatic story of who loves who and who sleeps with whom.Too much drama for me.

Kirpianuscus it is a strange fact: I saw it many times. and each new view was a revelation. because it is a great film about yourself more than adaptation of a book. because it is a puzzle about the meaning of life and about the joy as mask and a delicate and convincing eulogy of the friendship. because it gives great characters as images of one. because it is a film about the politic to a life who seems happy because, at the first sigh, it is only adventure. because it is a collection of memorable scenes. bitter. and nice. dark. and wise invitation to live. because it is Liza Minelli. herself. because, after decades, Michael York remains prisoner of his role in "Cabaret". because the recreation of the atmosphere of a Berlin front to its fall is unique. Because Joel Grey. and for the songs, "Cabaret" remains unique experience at each new view.

yurisilvasouza2001 "Cabaret" was the most influential musical film since "42nd Street". Widled considered one of the greatest films ever made, it follows the young, wild and sensitive American Sally Bowles, who lives in Berlin and work in cabaret "Kit Kat Club". She met Brian Roberts, a young British, shy and reserved who needs work as a English teacher. They immediately feel attracted for each other but some problems come with her obsession with money and his attraction for other men. Meanwhile, a destructive power grows in Berlin...In the early '70s, when the films that explore violence and sex began to take care of movie theaters, musicals seemed to be too outdated to suit young moviegoers expectations with the "New Hollywood". Until Bob Fosse (doubtless, the most underrated director) adapted a Broadway musical that defined the posterior types of it's genre. "Cabaret" is not full of sparkles, it does not have a happy ending and is waaaaaaay sexual for kids used to having the Gene Kelly movies. Still, it is the adult themes (that even some adults are not mature well enough to understand them) which include corruption, sexual ambiguity, false dreams and hedonism that include it as one of the most important of the 70's.

usersince03 My first encounter of the film when I was around 17, it was shown on the television which was around the 30th anniversary and round the time Liza Minnelli was married to David Gest. As soon as I watched the film I bought it on video for myself and it was a film I watched more than once. The cast were great including Joel Grey, Marisa Berenson and Michael York. Liza Minnelli was great as the Cabaret singer Sally Bowles, there are some scenes where she sounded like her mother Judy Garland for example the part where she tells Brian (Michael York) why she had an abortion. The soundtrack is brilliant my favourite songs are Two Ladies and Money Makes The World Go Round. There were scenes which were disturbing like the dog being killed because it's owner Natalia (Marisa Berenson) was Jewish.
