All That Jazz - Music Edition

Part tragic, part comic, this outrageous look at life in the fast lane in the Academy Award-winning musical about Bob Fosse's excessive life in show business. Played by Roy Scheider, Fosse's alter-ego drives himself over the edge and soon finds he is caught between a recurring fantasy about his death and the reality of a near-death experience. Dazzlingly presented, this electrifying story about the perils of pushing yourself too hard is filled with Fosse's legendary song-and-dance choreography. more

Brilliant movie. Imperfect DVD.

I am a huge fan of Bob Fosse in general, and of this movie specifically. However, the current Special Music Edition DVD (which replaces the now-discontinued original DVD release) has several flaws that prevent me from giving this a full five-star rating.(1) Incomplete picture: this film deserves...

Belongs in Every Broadway Musical Lover's Film Collection

Bob Fosse's thinly-veiled autobiographical homage is everything a movie musical should be -- lively, tuneful, funny and even poignant. With a cast which includes the wonderfully sexy Roy Scheider of Jaws fame, Fosse acolytes Ann Reinking and Ben Vereen, and a fabulous pre-plastic surgery Jessica...

Self-indulgent brilliance

Fosse's "All that Jazz" is one of my all time favorite movies and I don't generally enjoy big production dance movies. In this movie, Fosse, through his actor, Roy Scheider, gets to play himself with all his talent, weakness, brilliance, stupidy, self-indulgence...and...evil. He lets us feel...

Lotta singing, lotta dancing, a fair bit of drugs and sex... it's like life, only snazzier!

Or should that be jazzier? Very entertaining film, but it's not all fun and games. There's definitely some dark stuff here, this is no "Meet Me in Saint Louis" style musical. But the songs and dancing are great, the story and acting are great. If you haven't seen this before, you're in for a...

Awesome, in every sense of the word.

All That Jazz (Bob Fosse, 1979)Even at the tender age of ten, I was already both a ravening cinephile and a hardcore music fan. Cabaret was one of my favorite movies as a youngster (and doesn't it strike you, too, as odd that I would be exposed to such a movie repeatedly at such a tender age?),...

All That Jazz Rocks!

Seldom seen on TV, this is a rather dark view of behind-the-scenes Broadway. It's an autobiographical movie of the choreographer/director Bob Fosse, a man who had great career success but was less successful in his personal life. And, don't forget the fabulous musical numbers and Bob's patented,...

Self-destruction has never been so entertaining

Is it an exceptionally dark musical or the flashiest drama about death ever filmed? Both! What makes this film so fascinating is the integration of virtuoso song-and-dance numbers with penetrating portraiture of a man on the brink of self-destruction, all wrapped up in a handsomely cinematic...

Fantastic BIO pic of Fosse

Roy Scheider excels in this bio-pic of Fosse and Jessica Lange is at hermost beautiful. Music is wonderful and dancing is "Pure Fosse", anAmerican tradition now.

Dance 10, Looks 0

The film itself is one of the greats of the past 25 years, but the DVD itself is one of the lousiest I've seen in a long, long time. The entire movie is a little dark and slightly fuzzy; the color correction is off throughout. Dingy is the word that come to mind. The better your TV, the more...

fosse's best

bob fosse is regarded as a genius. although he won oscars for directing caberet and his movie on lenny bruce, his genius is universally acknowledged to lie primarily in the field of choreography. All that Jazz contains his best choreography on film, no argument. what else needs to be said?
