Musing on his own obsessions with sex, pills, art, and death, Bob Fosse's sublime musical goes beyond the razzle dazzle of show business to spectacular effect. 45th anniversary screening.
With a mesmerizing dive into the whirlwind world of showbiz, All That Jazz pushes the musical genre to unprecedented heights and beyond mere entertainment. Roy Scheider delivers a standout performance as Joe Gideon, exploring the profound inquiries of existence and the intricate interplay between life and death. With every frame, director/choreographer Bob Fosse pours his heart and soul into this audacious creation and turns the lens inward, crafting a wildly imaginative, brutally self-reflective opus that is uniquely his own. It’s showtime, folks! [123 min; drama, musical; English]

"Savagely witty on backstage life and audaciously edited." — Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
"This is a plausible milestone in the evolution of the Hollywood film, a quivering, pulsating, dynamic, excessive and flawed film that wears its alienation proudly where its heart should be." — Bruce McCabe, Boston Globe
