#17 All That Jazz by Bob Fosse














From Bob Fosse, the visionary creator of Cabaret, Chicago, and Pippin, comes this overly self-indulgent, masochistic, and extremely unique film. In All That Jazz we watch as the Fosse double Joe Gideon destroys his life through his drugs, work, and constant womanizing, however this film is so much more both visually and thematically all topped off by a shattering performance by Roy Scheider (of Jaws fame) and Fosse's typical brilliant direction.

This is the third movie 20-17 that I have spotted as being made before 1990. This could be an oversight in the Casablanca review, or just a testament to how many freaking versions Scott made of Blade Runner (1985)
