Cabaret [Blu-ray] [1972]

Musicals morphed once to epics in the 60s then shifted again to the modern, gritty, New American cinema of the 70s. Bob Fosse met that challenge head on with a toe tapping, devastatingly introspective look at fascism and its effects, both in denial and of acceptance, on the people who live amid its rise. CABARET is a story of dreams, high dreams, trounced and shattered but never dead. This is innovative filmmaking at its finest with shining acting and the beginning of the 'life is a stage' musical motif returned to in CHICAGO. Represented very well on Blu-ray with an awesome book. A++

Great movie. I remember seeing it when it when it was released. Actually, I should say, I will never forget it. Terrific. Had to purchase it recently to see it in Blu-ray. So glad they take the time to improve the quality of the older films so we can keep on enjoying them. This is something you should watch with your adult children. They should all see it. Especially given recent political events. Never forget that time and the alignment with events of today. Scary.

Not for everyone, but it’s the musical that showed the way toward a new future for the genre—not escapism, but something approaching realism. Joel Grey is magnificently arch, and Liza gives it, to coin a phrase, everything she’s got. The image is pleasingly film-like and the sound is near-perfect.

Had seen this movie over 40 years ago. Recently looking at some movie information I came across it again. Best Buy came through again. Just received a copy in the mail....watching it like it was yesterday.

The blu-ray extended edition of Cabaret offers a beautiful and dynamic picture and audio transfer of this classic musical. The special book that accompanies this special edition was an added bonus with rare photos of the Oscar winning production.

The original stage version set a new standard for the modern American musical and this Oscar winning film adaptation pulls out all the stops in preserving the magic for generations to come.
