Cabaret

1972, Bob Fosse

4.3/5

Cabaret is a 1972 American musical drama film directed by Bob Fosse, and starring Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Joel Grey.

Set in Berlin during the Weimar Republic in 1931, under the presence of the growing Nazi Party, the film is loosely based on the 1966 Broadway musical Cabaret by Kander and Ebb, which was adapted from Christopher Isherwood's semi-autobiographical novel The Berlin Stories (1945) as well as John Van Druten's 1951 play I Am a Camera, which was itself adapted from Isherwood's novel.: 609  Multiple numbers from the stage score were used for the film, which also featured three other songs by Kander and Ebb, including two written for the adaptation. In the traditional manner of musical theater, most major characters in the stage version sing to express their emotions and advance the plot; in the film, however, the musical numbers are entirely diegetic.: 609  All of them take place inside the club,: 609  with one exception: "Tomorrow Belongs to Me", the only song sung by neither the Master of Ceremonies nor Sally Bowles.

If you like Cabaret, you might also like 1970s German-language Films, 1972 Films, Films Whose Cinematographer Won The Best Cinematography Academy Award, and Films About Writers.

New Hollywood Era

Mid-1960s to 1980s, and possibly several movements depending on what you read. Spaghetti Westerns, Commedia all'italiana, and French New Wave are doing great in American cinemas, and "traditional Hollywood" is on the decline. Studios turn to new writers and directors to try to capture the "European Phenomenon." This is the beginning of the great 1970s revolution of American film: technological advancements, anti-establishment politics, counter culture and liberalization of sexuality, and the later rise of major blockbuster films
