5.0 out of 5 stars Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome., 29 Jun 2009
By pmov (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Cabaret has only ever been available in pan-and-scan or non-anamorphic letterboxed DVDs which have not done justice to it's superb cinematography. I'm praying that the delays to the previously announced release date of February 2009 are allowing this great film to finally get the polish and sparkle it deserves.

This is Bob Fosse's finest film and my favourite musical because it dispenses with the normal conceit of having people burst into song for no apparent reason. The songs here are mainly performances within the Kit-Kat club and so the inherent artificiality of the musical form is completely avoided.

It's a underlyingly grim tale but told with humour, panache and style. Set in 1939, the threat of Nazi oppression is palpable and skillfully woven into a tale of Sally Bowles, performer in one of Berlin's many decadent small clubs that thrived at the time. Minelli is terrific and Joel Grey as the MC is as weird as he is wonderful. They both (deservedly) got Oscar nods and have never been better.

Great songs, quirky choreography, pin-sharp cinematography, imaginative lighting and snappy editing, there's absolutely nothing to criticise. So if you've never seen 'Cabaret' before, prepare yourself for a treat. The rest of us can watch and enjoy once more a pitch-perfect team both in front and behind the lens delivering a movie milestone (and making it look effortless).

Update: delayed again to October. Are we getting this or not?
