All That Jazz

Transcendental cinema. Bob Fosse and Roy Scheider combine to achieve the impossible and then some. Every body movement, sound, sight, breath, and color is hemmed to perfection. There is no ounce of fat on this masterwork. So many of the dance scenes that would absolutely be tired and exhausting in other lesser works shines with an intense brightness in this. You want more, with an actual craving for it. This should've been 3 hours long, and it still would not have worn out its welcome. Truly one of the very greatest musicals ever put on camera, but also one of the greatest movies without a qualifier necessary as well. Thank god for All That Jazz.
