Originally a 1966 Broadway musical, this groundbreaking Bob Fosse musical was in turn based on Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin, previously dramatized for stage and screen as I Am a Camera wi...( read more

well made and fairly intriguing, but empty at the same time making this a film that for me falls far below its reputation.
omg I just realized I havent reviewed this yet! I love this movie! Joel Grey, Michel York, and esecially LIZA MINNELLI! I just love her! I would really like to see this on broadway! I just love Lizas style in the movie its great!. Amazing moive. Go see it!
Somewhat overrated musical drama set in decadent Berlin before the rise of the Nazis under Adolf Hitler. Liza Minnelli is a standout as Miss Sally Bowles, a flamboyant American singer at the Kit Kat Klub. Flashy musical numbers are the highlight of the film, and personify the e...( read more)
This movie version is a little psychedelic at times, but the music is good and the themes are important to understanding how Naziism came to power in Germany during this time.

Liza Minnelli at her greatest in a performance that she hasn't been able to match since. The fantastic musical numbers provide some much needed light relief to the chilling subject matter at hand.

Everything came together so perfectly in this movie, the cast, screenplay, direction, music, art direction and cinematography. It's a brilliant film, and one of the best musicals ever made. The choreography is incredible, the production is outstanding, the costumes are so creativ...( read more)
I hadn't seen this movie since I was 9 and though I remember liking it a lot at that time (along with it having many more songs), and I did unsterand the major themes playing, I think it is significantly more meaningful to me now. My image of Liza Minnelli was that of someone who...( read more)
So I decided to rewatch this film, and came to the conclusion this is probably the most classic musical of the 70's, perfectly portraying 30's Berlin during a post war crisis and when NAZI party began to arouse. With a premise that life is a cabaret, in which people look for some...( read more)
