Witness the dramatic side of dance with Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz, a semi-autobiographical musical drama that blurs the line between reality and fantasy in a dazzling, feverish spectacle, screening for The Frida Zinema in anticipation of their Musical March Madness issue! Copies will be available for purchase in the lobby.
The film follows Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider), a brilliant yet self-destructive Broadway director and choreographer, as he juggles his demanding career, multiple relationships, and an increasing dependence on drugs and alcohol. As he edits his latest film by day and rehearses a new stage production by night, his health deteriorates, leading him into a surreal, hallucinatory journey where he confronts his own mortality.
Blending dynamic musical sequences with raw emotional depth, All That Jazz earned critical acclaim, winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes and four Academy Awards and cementing Fosse’s legacy as a master of both cinema and stage storytelling.
