i'm surprised dancing on top of those chairs didn't cause her vertigo to start up

The music here is untouchable, as is Fosse's psychotic low-angle direction that makes the Kit Kat Club feel like a never-ending bad dream. Made me think "wow, Berlin seems like it was really scary back then." Then the Nazi stuff kicks in and I was like "oh right right right."

the beer garden scene is seriously one of the creepiest scenes ever committed to film
-
me: haha what a fun queer romp
also me: isn’t it terrifying watching this in 2018 and realizing that the slow rise of the nazi party that happened in 1931 berlin mirrors the way the united states has allowed neo nazi pieces of shit to rise rather rapidly due to not taking them seriously until they’re the only people in the audience -
Okay “old chum,” you’re telling me life is a cabaret, but this cabaret doesn’t look like much fun at all!

who wants to join my new club? it’s called BWPN, which stands for “bisexuals who punch nazis” and its formation is in honor of mr. brian roberts, my hero.

What a lonely film. Characters on the verge of oblivion, with Nazi hate rising from all sides. Bob Fosse's direction finds performance in not just the cabaret itself, which he stages with exquisite precision, but the allegiances in the political climate, and the tumultuous romances and relationships. It's all an act, until it's too late. Stand-outs of the cast include Liza Minnelli, because *of course*, and the MC played by Joel Grey, who narrates show-business while attempting to mask the inevitable. The final shot will forever take my breath away.
