Rec'd on 🙅‍♀️ 6/25: WHAT’S A MOVIE YOU REALLY ENJOYED BUT REFUSE TO REWATCH?

ALL THAT JAZZ (1979)

dir. Bob Fosse This musical auto-biopic is one of the most beautiful, yet depressing movies I’ve ever seen. Fosse’s self-awareness put on display here is a bold act of honesty that few would broadcast to the world. He wrestles with his flaws, his dreams, and most pointedly his mortality. The climactic show-stopping musical number wrapped in a Broadway fever dream is utterly existential and haunting. The final images of this film will live with me until my own curtain call…and all that jazz.

All that jazz (1979)

Without a doubt, one if not the best American movie musicals of all time. Directed by Bob Fosse, I once heard someone call it “The American Version of 8 1/2” which makes so much sense. Roy Schneider plays an avatar-esque version of Bob Fosse - the film being a mirror into Fosse’s life as a choreographer. Of course, the choreography in this film is on point and so is the music (its not overly showtime-y which I love) The final number in this movie is one of my favorite movie endings of all time. Highly highly recommend it.

All that jazz

Here’s the thing. This movie is perfect. it’s obsession in a time capsule. I’m on a lil cocaine talking to my partner about how much we both love it and i was like “dude I feel like bob fosse is rolling in his grave about the ariana grande video” and he said, “I actually feel like he is very at peace in his grave” and honestly after seeing his directorial collection, he’s right. That man had restless leg syndrome to its fatal conclusion. Very cool and very sweet though. Everything old is new again!
