Description
Is this the first "perfect" movie we've covered on this podcast? This was Kat's first time watching Bob Fosse's 1979 self-referential musical drama ALL THAT JAZZ, one of A.C.'s absolute favorites. There's something compelling about the way Joe Gideon, Fosse's stand-in for himself, is far from being the hero in his own larger-than-life story of addiction, perfectionism, and womanizing. And though the ending is foreshadowed from the opening scene, it's still jaw dropping when it happens.
Discussed in this episode:
- "Le Jeune Homme et La Mort," the opening ballet from WHITE NIGHTS (1985): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_FvbnWM90s
