ALL THAT JAZZ (1979)

BOB FOSSE

Plot

The story of a Broadway choreographer under such pressure to be top of the Bill that success could cost him his life. A film that is really a meditation on love, life, death and personal priorities. The real standout is the vibrant editing and music - long before MTV coopted the fast and loose cutting styles that make it hard to focus, Fosse put it to good use. He doesn't just cut for shock value, he cuts WITH the music, creating images that go right into your inner rhythm somehow. Brilliant entertainment. A spectacular musical and one to remember.
