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)

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)
