#13 All That Jazz by Bob Fosse

All That Jazz is what many call "viciously" inventive and original, that is it holds nothing back in its brash vision. In some cases such an auteuristic approach would lead to a flimsy film caught up in the directors narcissism, but All That Jazz is about exactly that, a narcissistic director, in fact its about its own director. If for no other reason this film deserves a spot for the director Bob Fosse's relentless self-deprecation. This film still stands up to today as a film about a man who everyone loves and hates at the same time, a man caught up in himself, a man who is losing himself, and we as the viewer are fascinated. Some call Cabaret Fosse's masterpiece, I say nay.
