Cabaret

Berlin, 1930s. Within the walls of the smoky Kit Kat Club, things are quite cheerful with singing, dancing, and decadent sexual eccentricities, and there is nothing to be noticed of the grim political climate outside. The American singer Sally is also more worried about how she can get the stiff Brit Brian into her bed... Brian lives temporarily with her in her small apartment while he tries to make ends meet by teaching English. When Wanneer Sally meets the wealthy Baron Maximilian Von Heune one day, she sees him as her chance to finally become famous..

Commentary The life of singer Sally Bowles has already been cast in many art forms. She played the lead role in Berlin Stories by the writer Christopher Isherwood, was adapted into a play ( I am a Camera ), was (and still is) subsequently performed countless times as a Broadway musical, and was made immortal in 1972 by Liza Minelli's performance in this Cabaret . For a musical, the film is quite spicy, with many scantily clad characters in promiscuous poses, making Cabaret the first musical ever with an X-rating. However, this did not prevent the film from winning no fewer than 8 Oscars.
