As revealing and amazing as always...

This movie is a one of a kind experience in that it is interesting, educational, entertaining, and exciting,something most movies try to accomplish and normally do not achieve. The quality of acting, singing, and directing, choreography, everything is top notch. Yes it is a departure from the equally entertaining stage version it is something that trancends film and gives you that theatrical feeling without being taken direct from broadway. The quick pacing that makes modern movie musicals great is evident and maybe orgiginated with Cabaret, one of the greatest musicals, and movies of all time.

One great musical
Added 9/4/2009
I had not seen "Cabaret" since it first came out, and so I wondered how it would survive after all this time. I need not have worried. It is a classic, with some truly shattering performances. Joel Grey is amazing as this kind of ambivalent court jester who comments on history, sociology and human foibles by his presentations in the Kit Kat Club. It is at the same time witty,decadent and horrific.It is one of those performances which one remembers through one's life, as is Liza Minelli's. If ever an Oscar was deserved it was this one. Ms Minelli manages to create in her rendering of Sally Bowles an image of the thirties and at the same time producing a person of depth with an underlying tragedy who gains our complete sympathy while we deplore her life style.It is a beautiful performance. I think if I was to produce a "must see" shortlist "Cabaret" would be right in there.Bob Fosse directed some wonderful, if disturbing , works of great power.

This movie is just a classic, one of the few, or maybe the only one picture that talks about the Weigmar Republic in Germany before the Nazis, but more important the decadence of a nation with a mask of entertainment, Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey are great in their performances, I recomend this movie 100%.
