Product Description
Cabaret (Blu-ray Book) Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome to Cabaret. Inside the Kit Kat Klub of 1931 Berlin, starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish emcee (Joel Grey) sound the call to decadent fun, while outside a certain political party grows into a brutal force. Boasting a score by the legendary songwriting partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb, Cabaret won eight Oscars®*, including awards for Minnelli, Grey and director Bob Fosse, who shaped a triumph of style and substance. Come to this cabaret, old chum. You’ll never want to leave.

Giving the performances of their lives, both Liza Minnelli, as the self-deluded but highly ambitious anti-heroine Sally Bowles, and Joel Grey, as the Mephistophelean M.C., transport us to the tawdry ambience of the 1931 Weimar Republic, where sexual identity is fluid and everything and everyone is for sale (the contemporary club scene, anyone?). The "Money Money" number about the erotic attraction of wealth could be successfully placed into the soundtrack of "The Great Gatsby"(2013).
Under the sure and certain control of choreographer/director Bob Fosse, "Cabaret" the film solves the traditional problem of the musical play and the musical film. Since every number, save one, in the surprisingly contemporary score takes place in the seedy Kit Kat Klub in Berlin, where corpulent businessmen mingle with uniformed Nazi thugs and prostitutes, the element of realism can be planted and nurtured. Characters don't suddenly erupt in song. Every Kit Kat number comments on what is going on in the alleys, on the streets and in the boardinghouses: the brutal tactics of the surging National Socialist Party, the increasingly lethal rise of anti-Semitism (also reflected in the doomed love story between the secondary characters Natasha and Fritz), the nostalgia for the old order which Sally's landlady harbors.
"Tomorrow Belongs to Me", the sole number set outside amidst the natural beauty of the German countryside and the Gemutlichkeit of the German biergarten, is also the perfect combination of music and political commentary. As a scout-uniformed, perfect Aryan boy begins to sing what will become a Nazi anthem embraced by a multi-class, multi-generational audience, the camera slowly pans down from his angelic face to the swastika prominently displayed on his uniform. When Brian and Max , bisexual lovers who form a sexual triangle with Sally, leave the scene in a limousine, Fosse inserts a knowingly sardonic shot of the smiling M.C.
The film opens and closes with distorted funhouse mirror images of the audience at the Kit Kat Klub, slowly melding from black and white to color at the beginning and finishing with shots of a predominately Nazi audience. When a mirror was used onstage in the musical play, the audience could see itself. Geoffrey Unsworth's Oscar winning cinematography, rendered here with solid blacks and the subtly shifting quality of stage lighting, puts us there. Though the Weimar era was 80 years ago, (think Dietrich in "The Blue Angel" (1931), Fosse, Minnelli and Grey took us there 40 years ago and continue to do so to this day. The hypnotic spell of "Cabaret" lives and breathes on this splendid disc.

Il Blu Ray della Sinister Film si presenta a disco singolo con sovracoperta cartonata lucida e, all’interno, un libretto di 24 pagine con curiosità e dettagli sul film e sulla sua storia. Il video è nel corretto formato 1,85:1 Anamorfico 1080p, restaurato in modo eccellente con immagini prive di imperfezioni, dai colori saturi e ben dettagliate pur con una leggera grana cinematografica. La differenza fondamentale con le varie edizioni in dvd che sono state pubblicate negli anni, col video spesso non restaurato e letterbox, si trova nell’audio, disponibile in numerose versioni: inglese 5.1 DTS-HD e DD, inglese 2.0 DTS-HD e DD e italiano 2.0 DTS-HD e 2.0 DD ma soprattutto nei sottotitoli in italiano: scegliendo l’apposita opzione dal telecomando del blu ray, si possono attivare automaticamente anche solo per le parti cantate.
Per finire, numerosi e interessanti contenuti speciali, tutti sottotitolati in italiano (tranne il trailer cinematografico originale): Cabaret, il documentario (27:22), Making off (16:52), L’epoca d’oro del musical (05:46), Interviste (21:59), Galleria Fotografica (04:07), Trailer Cinematografico (02:55)
