A pillar of world cinema , direct, and not only by Bob Fosse.
Berlin, at the time of the Weimar Republic, while the political conflict haunts German society, the economy destroyed and millions of unemployed Sally, a singer Merican boyish-faced, falls in love with two men while the Nazi party came to power, without which none of them pay particular attention to the thing. Brian, a student at the University of Cambridge intends to complete his studies in Germany earning a living teaching English in a boarding house where he became friends with another boarder, Sally, in fact. And 2 will all be seduced by Max, rich playboy, covering them with gifts and attention. Near the end Sally becomes pregnant, and Brian offer themselves to marry her.
All the characters are tied to the Kit-Kat Klub, a nightclub where Sally performs. Liza Minnelli embodies the exuberant Sally, who shares a scene of decadent cabaret with the "Host" interpreted by a perfect Joel Grey, who seems aware of everyone's life. Brian sally port, which has the face of Michael York, in his world, wanting to make him one of his many lovers, only to discover a homosexual, even if celibate. Around their other 2 students are also part of Brian: Fritz Wendel, poor crypto-jew, who is a gigolo and he meets precisely the heiress Natalia Landauer, hard, beautiful and a Jew. Natalia Fritz would like to see just how checkbook, but he falls in love, and eventually is revealed and they marry.
Sally, finally, come home without his fur coat, a gift from Max, and Brian realizes that if it is sold for an abortion. Max with an excuse them liquid with a letter and some notes, but without doing all the fabulous trip they had planned.
The structure of this film is wonderful and perfect, because although it has nothing of a musical operetta: all those songs on stage and heard as background music, played on a phonograph or sung by a choir contraltari ironic or explaining the various situations in the history of gin cotton. Just to be clear, no one says "I love you" to his girlfriend singing. The song expresses the guiding philosophy of history, "life is a cabaret." The screenplay and dialogues are very realistic, witty and never dull. Here, all the performers I happened to "chase" and acknowledge, in my opinion are the best of their abilities, perhaps only Michael York played other characters on a par with that of Brian. We say that this film and its actors are a perfect recipe! The most Minnelli has never been so convincing as an actor, Joel Grey, perhaps because of his face so characterized, is not never been like protagonist with a part of boundary, as it speaks with anyone outside of the cabaret, managed to be a leader. Marisa Berenson, as talented beautiful ornament alters, may have done an encore in "Barry Lyndon". Even Max, Fritz, the landlady, our colleagues in the cabaret, music, landscapes, interiors, the choreography, everything is structurally flawless and exciting. And as in English, it must be recognized that the dialogues and the Italian dubbing made fully honor the original, it still took eight Oscars and many other awards and nominations.
a pillar of modern cinema, to find, enjoy and maintain a film that is incredibly boring ever, and how I think in many.
