Description
----------------
In a year that saw such stellar cinematic statements as Apocalypse Now, Breaking Away, Manhattan, and Being There, one film more than any other stood out. It was deeply personal and highly controversial, a look behind the scenes at the production of a major Broadway musical and a sly deconstruction of one man's fragile psyche. It functioned as both an attack on show business phoniness and an open apology to the numerous people its creator cared about and eventually hurt. There were even elements in it so insular as to appear obtuse. But mostly, it was a commemoration of a career in dance, one man's inner journey through a life lived in choreographing humans to music.
For Bob Fosse, All That Jazz was an experimental mea culpa. Today it remains a self-indulgent celebration, an attempt to atone locked within a clear exploration of the standard tortured artist effect. Representing only one of five feature films the noted stage director would helm during his career, it felt like a lifetime of legitimate gripes ground up into a Fellini-esque frappe. It promoted his presence as a serious creator. It also indicated the upcoming arrival of Fosse's own untimely death at 60. The movie is now out as All That Jazz: Special Musical Edition.
