Weimar Berlin, the "Kit-Kat" club, jazz on the edge of the abyss - Bob Fosse's "Cabaret" remains one of the most poignant and uncomfortable films in the history of the musical. Film critic Mikhail Vitushko will explain how Fosse turned brilliant entertainment into an accurate indictment of an entire era, - and then we will watch the film together. The 1972 "Cabaret" is a musical that broke all the rules of the genre. Bob Fosse did the impossible: he took a story about Weimar Berlin on the eve of the Nazis' rise to power and transformed it into an aesthetically flawless, physically palpable experience of impending catastrophe. Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles, Joel Grey as the demonic Emcee - and the growing sense that the glamour and debauchery of the "Kit-Kat" club and the horror outside its walls are one and the same. The film won eight Academy Awards - more than "The Godfather" of the same anniversary year. Fosse's main discovery: the numbers are only performed on stage. No Hollywood tradition - characters do not sing about their feelings on the street. The song here is a mask, a shelter, a way not to face the truth. The Emcee, played by Joel Grey - a smile without eyes, a voice without a soul, art that looks at horror and shrugs. Where to go with a child in Yekaterinburg, find on our website.
