Average Rating: Rating: - FOSSE ON FOSSE With a typically sardonic and vicious glare, Bob Fosse examines his own obsessive life as a creator/director/choreographer -- and womanizer, drinker, druggie. While this movie has its shamelessly over-the-top qualities (Jessica Lange as Death, for one), the musical sequences are so dazzling that they instantly make this move a must-see, if not must-have, for any Fosse fan. The opening, a wow-you-in-the-gut audition sequence set to On Broadway (Benson's stunning version), does more in four minutes than the film of Chorus Line does in its entire running time to convey the show biz world of Broadway. And the then-gamine Ann Reinking is on hand to literally play herself, as well as dance in that feline way. The musical number Take Off With Us is at once amusing, sparkling, sensual and spectacular, featuring an explosive ensemble of dancers. Fosse's bitter take on his own mortality may slow things down (the Lenny-inspired sequences bore into your brain) a bit, when the music is playing you are in for a revved-up treat. Rating: - Still ahead of his time Nearly 20 years later, nothing compares to the peculiar, get-wrenching honesty that we view in Bob Fosse's masterwork ALL THAT JAZZ. He reinvents the rules of cinematography as well as the rules of the movie musical. This is a film constructed of beautiful pictures. Each a photograph that could be removed from it's cell and framed. Every shot is masterfully considered and constructed. On this film, more than any other, Fosse knew the material. Any writer will tell you "write what you know." The reason this film excells on so many levels is that Bob Fosse looks at himself with teeth bared, sparing nothing. He strips himself, his life, his work bare, leaving the viewer conciously aware of viewing a surgery...both metaphorically and actually. This film is not for anyone. Only the truly educated can appreciate the overwhelming truth and power of this film. I have seen it a dozen times, and with each viewing new things appear. For those that want to learn, Fosse left his lesson book open on the table. Rating: - Long live the Jazz... and Fosse! This is a marvellous collector piece. Coming from a great movie, this could only be an espectacular Soundtrack. I've always felt attracted to the film for its visual stile (just like any other Fosse's movie, especially "Cabaret") and the sarcastic tone. A courious note about this film is that a few years after Bob Fosse realeased this sort of oracular-autobiography, the author died just like the movie character inspired in him. Some of the songs has a very 80's beat, which of course was en vogue when it was made. The album includes classic themes like "Concert in G" by Vivaldi, and also pop music classics like "On Broadway". The piece "Take off with us" is simply marvellous. But the best thing of this record os the ironization of the lyrics of themes like "Bye, bye love", "Some of this days", "Who's sorry now" and "After you're gone". This soundtrack is simply amazing.
