Product description
Winner of 8 Academy Awards including Best Actress (Liza Minnelli) and Best Director (Bob Fosse) - CABARET is the musical masterpiece that revolutionized the genre, is a dark, multi-layered look at the decadent fantasy world that was Berlin preceding the devastating reality of World War II. Liza Minnelli plays Sally Bowles, star of the seedy Kit Kat Club. Her exuberance and eternal optimism charm both the audience and Brian (Michael York) an English journalist, their ill-fated romance mirroring the political chaos that surrounds them. The extraordinary energy and style of Bob Fosse's choreography and the remarkable historical drama combine to make Cabaret not just a spectacular musical, but a powerful film experience.

The movie is great of course. The quality of blue Ray conversion is poor, not much different from a standard dvd. Feels like the original film didn't have the required blue Ray quality to start with

Go see it old chum!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2018Verified Purchase
I was 9 years old when I first saw a poster in the foyer of an old colonial picture house of Sally Bowles draped across a chair in her skimpy stage get-up. I was smitten. Didn't get to see the film until many years later but was surprised it really was as daring and provocative as that poster suggested to me back then. Cabaret is one of the all-time greats from that dazzling period in 1970s American cinema; The French Connection; Catch-22; All the President's Men; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest etc. It's pretty clear-eyed in its portrayal of desperate Weimar boho decadence and on the relatively ridiculous nature of the brownshirt threat at that time while being laden with foreboding imagery signalling the carnage to come. Plus it's a riot; the routines are brilliantly set up and leave you with the giddy feeling of all the good and the bad of an actual experience, Liza is mesmerizing as the self-deluded but hugely charismatic Sally and Joel Grey is clinical in not letting the audience off the hook. Bob Fosse's fantastic film will always be relevant.

Loads of extras. A classic that hasn’t aged
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2018Verified Purchase
I’m not keen on musicals, but I’d forgotten how good this film really is. There are some outstanding performances as Michael York explores both Berlin and the seamy side of life, falling in with Liza as club performer Sally Bowles. The backdrop is the rise of the Nazis and there’s an ever increasing sense of menace, ably depicted by Joel Grey as MC.
This special edition comes with a bundle of extras and at pence for a very good, used, it’s a steal. Brilliant film that’s lost non of its relevance and I’ll watch it again.

I nonetheless love this glitzy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2016Verified Purchase
Although the storyline differs from the stageplay, I nonetheless love this glitzy, brash, raunchy, sleazy colourful musical that has so much iconic moments within it. From well known sings such as "Money" to "Mein Herr" and "Cabaret", the momentum never slows or shudders from beginning to end.
Showcasing Liza Minelli at the peak of her talents, her Oscar was richly deserved, aswell as Joel Grey's scene stealing, compelling but creepy Emcee. To compliment this, the choreography and direction are first rate.
Do to the risque nature of the plot, one may not care to watch it with Granny or the Vicar!

German DVD - but with full English soundtrack
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2020Verified Purchase
This is primarily a DVD for the German market, so the onscreen stuff is all in German, but it does not take much working out and there is an English soundtrack version (but saying that the German soundtrack is lip-synched perfect - amazingly so!).
Beyond that amazing film (needless to say) and cheaper than other options

Unforgettable - Liza Minnelli at her absolute best
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2012Verified Purchase
It's been many years since I last watched 'Cabaret' but, even 40 years after the release of the original movie, the visual impact - to say nothing of the unforgettable lyrics and Liza Minnelli - remains mind-blowingly impressive.
Despite this I soon found myself wondering how today's audience will identify with the undercurrent of the movie - of life in Berlin in 1931, during the last days of the decadent Weimar Republic and facing the increasingly ominous growth of Hitler's National Socialist party.
In the opening scenes members of the National Socialist party are harassed and occasionally kicked out of the Kit Kat Club but this attitude soon changes. Halfway through the film a boy is singing to the seated guests in a beer garden; at first it seems an innocent lyrical song about the beauties of nature but it gradually becomes the strident "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" song. When the camera finally shifts back we see the boy is actually wearing a brown Hitler youth uniform and, as he lifts his hand in the Nazi salute, nearly all the guests in the beer garden get up and voluntarily join in the singing and the saluting.
By the time we get to the finale of the film the audience of the Kit Kat Club is dominated by jack-booted members of the Nazi party.
The movie was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 1973 and won a total of eight. Lisa Minnelli - at the absolute peak of her career - won the best actress award whilst Joel Grey (the decadent and brilliantly expressive Emcee at the Kit Kat Club) won the award for the best actor in a supporting role.
Watch and enjoy the movie and the songs - but remember to set the escapism of the Kit Kat Club against the violent and changing social structure that was rapidly consuming Germany. Changes that, six short years later, were to plunge the world into a global conflict.
