This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb. Now....On ALL my copies...NO MENU...So I have to fiddle around on my remote to find them. I’m not keen on musicals, but I’d forgotten how good this film really is. Both of these tragic figures are the conduit for the audience, with Sally being the fantasy side of things and Brian being the reality.

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.

Loads of extras. 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. One day a guy known as Brian Roberts comes to the same house where Sally lives. All things considered, CABARET is a stunning accomplishment that still holds relevance in this day and age of disillusionment with the political establishment. He later becomes confused and decides to leave for Argentina. Given the size the picture quality is perfectly acceptable, with good colour and sound.

It works, but can take up to a minute and meanwhile, titles are moving on, so I rewind back. 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. 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. On a more positive note, CABARET exists as a testament to the power of entertainment, and definitely deserves its status as one of the best musicals ever put to film. Want to watch 'Cabaret' on your TV or mobile device at home? Nazism begins as a mere nuisance but, as the film progresses, becomes more of a presence (and present threat). Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2020, This review is more about the DVD presentation than the film.
Why, in this day and age, does a classic film like this get presented with a surround of black bars, making the picture unecesasarily small (If enlarged I lose some subtitles, more on that in a mo.). Brian offers English courses and is also doing a doctorate program. Cabaret is an Drama, Music, Romance movie that was released in 1972 and has a run time of 2 hr 4 min. From an interpretive standpoint (and this is just my opinion), this implies (through the nature of what a cabaret is and entails) that our willingness to be entertained and distracted, even if only temporarily, is what allows political extremism/tragedy/etc. Read on for a listing of streaming and cable services - including rental, purchase, and subscription choices - along with the availability of 'Cabaret' on each platform.

The guys beat him up and he runs away. The film entitled Cabaret is about the life of Sally. He goes back to the house and reconciles with Sally. Brian is an educationist and a writer. It can also be one of the biggest distractions. He tells her he tried to have relationships with three different ladies but did not succeed. Sally becomes very worried and confused. Fancy watching 'Cabaret' on your TV, phone, or tablet? As Nazism rises in Germany, flamboyant American Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) sings in a decadent nightclub and falls in love with a British language teacher (Michael York)--whom she shares with a homosexual German baron. While there, Maximilian seduces and gets into relationships with both Brian and Sally. When Brian confronts her, she tells him why she did it.

5 stars and I am sticking to that, but 2 for the poor DVD presentation, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2017. Sally Bowles is an artist and an entertainer.

This blockbuster won 8 Oscars, including one for Best Picture.

No scene in CABARET is more chilling than when the young Nazi starts singing (what I think is) a folk song, and his audience gradually joins in with him. CABARET, from the musical by Kander and Ebb and directed by Bob Fosse, is sort of an examination of this through the historical lens of late Weimar Germany as it succumbed to Nazism.

However, Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies was just as entertaining, perhaps the most so as his role provided dramatic and musical unity to the film.

At the end Brian leaves for England and Sally stays in Berlin.

Maximilian asks Sally and Brian to accompany him to his estate in the countryside. She is not sure who the father of the baby is. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is mirrored in the pacing of musical sequences which are initially spaced out a little sparsely but become more frequent as the film goes on. Inside the Kit Kat Club of 1931 Berlin, bohemian singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and a risqué emcee (Joel Grey) sound the clarion call to decadent fun, while outside the Nazi party grows into a brutal force.

This isn't by any means the only DVD with no menu, though luckily not that many in the scheme of things....The film remains one of my all time favourites.

Sally rejects his proposal and later commits an abortion.

Moving, funny, terrifying ("Tomorrow Belongs to Me"), sexy and with a steamrolling, powerhouse performence from Ms Minelli in the role she was surely born to play.

There was also dynamite editing, choreography, lighting, etc., making it a sort-of ancestor to the music video.

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. Changes that, six short years later, were to plunge the world into a global conflict. The pursuit of happiness, enshrined as a right in the US Constitution, is one of the greatest motivating factors in all of human history. I'm a little hesitant to draw parallels between the America of today and the Germany of then, but it's a little disconcerting to feel like the only thing keeping us from making the same mistakes is that we've never suffered the abject humiliation that Germany suffered at the end of WWI.

Sally later finds out she is pregnant.

One of my top ten favourite films of all time that I never tire of watching.It has never dated and Liza is incredible, nobody could ever play Sally like she does.Everything about this film is amazing.I am not a musical fan but the songs and routines just add to the whole decadence of the storyline which is disturbing and fascinating in equal measure.A pure masterpiece and I just hope nobody ever dares to remake this film because nothing will ever match this.

She thinks Brian is gay. In fact, this entire musical is filled with pathos of varying types, which is why I think it's so effective. 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. 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. Here's the plot: "Inside the Kit Kat Club of 1931 Berlin, starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles and an impish emcee sound the clarion call to decadent fun, while outside a certain political party grows into a brutal force."
