Cabaret is a 1972 musical film directed by Bob Fosse, starring Liza Minnelli , Michael York and Joel Grey. Cabaret is set in 1931 Berlin and follows the life of a cabaret dancer, Sally Bowles, at the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. She is an overenthusiastic and optimistic character and when Brian Roberts, a young English journalist, moves into her apartment building she soon tries to seduce him. After failing she gets the impression he may be gay but soon learns that he has just had no other sexual experiences, or at least ones that ended well. This is the start of a strange love affair, which the movie soon revolves around.
This classic movie shows some great examples of cabaret dance (girly dancing) without having to strip down to your pasties and skimpy knickers. Whilst exploring the effects of WWII on Germany and the behaviour of the Nazis towards other Germans. The film avoids being boring by switching from everyday life to acts at the Kit Kat Klub.
This movie is a classic and a must see, particularly if you like musicals. Personally I dont like musicals, but this is one of my favourite movies.
