Summary: Fantasic!
Review: I just watched this movie after hearing about it for a while, I loved it! It was errie the way Joe's life ended and the way Fosse's life ended further down the line. It's almost like hw perdicted his own death. As everyone sles I loved the line "It's show time Folks." but even more then that I loved the seans themselves the process that it takes for Joe to get to showtime. This movie is for any brodway fan, but I recomend it to hard core Fosse fans

Summary: Long live the Jazz... and Fosse!
Review: This is a marvellous collector piece. Coming from a great movie, this could only be an espectacular Soundtrack. I've always felt attracted to the film for its visual stile (just like any other Fosse's movie, especially "Cabaret") and the sarcastic tone. A courious note about this film is that a few years after Bob Fosse realeased this sort of oracular-autobiography, the author died just like the movie character inspired in him. Some of the songs has a very 80's beat, which of course was en vogue when it was made. The album includes classic themes like "Concert in G" by Vivaldi, and also pop music classics like "On Broadway". The piece "Take off with us" is simply marvellous. But the best thing of this record os the ironization of the lyrics of themes like "Bye, bye love", "Some of this days", "Who's sorry now" and "After you're gone". This soundtrack is simply amazing.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: When I first saw this movie, I loved it! It was so unusual...not at all the typical musical. Now (how many years later?), it's still one of my favorites. One of the rare ones that's withstood the test of time. Don't expect the same old jazz. It's realistic and disturbing. You'll be thinking about it long after you see it.

Summary: Where the real fosse?
Review: This movie is a cult favorite for those of us in the entertainment industry, with an emphasis on theatre. The movie is fabulous. Incredible dance, deep characters, the ugly side of addictions. However, Fosse's vices were all shown except for one main one. He liked men as well. His homosexual antics are legendary in theatre and show circles. I can't believe that part of him was left out of the movie. Like the question said on Regis' millionaire show "All that Jazz was based loosely on the life of what choreographer?). Be proud Bob!

Summary: A very nice mix of music
Review: I first bought this record (yes record) in 1981. I have since replaced it with a CD. Like Robert from Florida, I am interested in knowing which Vivaldi Concerto in D is the one used from the soundtrack!

Summary: Indulgent...yes...but also the "Pulp Fiction" of its time
Review: Am I the only 30-something that first awakened to the idea of cinema, of film as an art-form, after seeing "Jazz"? Maybe it does define directorial self-gratification; maybe it damn near celebrates nihilism - but wasn't that final "zip" stunning at the time? "It's showtime folks", indeed!

Review: I love the Vivaldi Concerto in G. I would like to purchase it - however - Vivaldi wrote many concertos in G. Does anyone know which one this one is?

Summary: Sub-Par for Fosse
Review: I am a HUGE Fosse fan, yet I somehow never managed to see this film. I finally did the other night, and I fully expected to be enthralled and overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I was not. While I am clearly a minority of one from the other comments, I feel this is not at all Fosse's best work. All the trademark devices and styles that are so effective in movies like "Cabaret", "Lenny", or "Sweet Charity", are a mere parody here, becoming little more than a series of cliches and pretensious moments, awkward and self-concious. The Jessica Lange part is particularly ridiculous. Only two things save this from being a bomb: 1. The dancing, obviously, though it is all frustratingly abbreviated. and 2. The eminently watchable Roy Scheider, whose remarkable acting brings this as close to a good movie as any actor possibly could. I even watched this a second time, since my opionion seems to be clearly so out of step with the rest of the world. While I enjoyed it more the second time, mainly for the dancing, and the sheer oddity of it all, I still see this as very much a rare example of mediocre work from one of the great artistic geniuses of the century. I really feel my fellow Fosse fans are blinded to the possibility that he could do no wrong. If this movie didn't have the Fosse stamp on the marquee, it would probably be ignored.

Summary: COMPELLING
Review: THIS FILM WAS BRILLIANT. I SAW THIS AS AN 13-YEAR OLD GIRL, AND EVEN AT THAT AGE, I GOT THIS FILM BECAUSE FOSSE IS SO EFFECTIVE IN HIS STORYTELLING IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. JOE'S ADDICTION TO THE DANCE, TO WOMEN, TO EXCESS, TO PLEASURE, TO SELF-DESTRUCTION, TO CREATION IS SO STARKLY AND UNCOMPROMISINGLY PORTRAYED. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND HOW A PREVIOUS REVIEW COULD SAY THE DANCE SEQUENCES WERE TOO LONG. BOB FOSSE REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND BREATH-TAKING CHOREAGRAPHERS OF THE LAST HALF CENTURY. HIS STYLE IS SOPHISTICATED, SMART AND WITTY. THE EDITING, THE HOSPITAL SEQUENCES, THE GLIMPSES INTO HIS CONTINUED DESTRUCTION AND FAILING HEALTH ARE NOTHING SHORT OF GRIPPING. AND THE MUSICAL AND SHOW-BIZ SEQUENCES SHOW BOTH THE SLEAZY AND THE JOYFUL FACETS OF THIS WORLD. I COULD GO ON ALL NIGHT....I JUST CAUGHT THIS ON BRAVO AND, 20 YEARS LATER, IT IS JUST AS COMPELLING AND EXCITING AS THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT. ENJOY.
