Cabaret (DVD, 2003)

Don't tell anyone, but I quite like musicals sometimes, so I thought a review of Cabaret would be appropriate. I found it a very entertaining film. I read somewhere that the character played by Liza Minelli was supposed to be a "third-rate talent". Maybe that was an unnecessary criticism, but I thought but I thought Liza sang every song perfectly. She won an oscar for her role.

I loved Michael York as the british writer who Liza falls for. He seems to have no preference either way about loving men or women, and when Liza asks him if he sleeps with girls, he responds that his three attempts met with disaster! :) Funny.

The costumes, sets, and lighting inside the cabaret are quite beautiful. It's not based on the Broadway version, the director shot new scenes and new songs on location in Germany. The performances are good and I think it's worth a watch if you're in the mood for musicals :)
