Review of Cabaret

Watched again after a very long time, and it has aged well. The atmosphere, the staging, the design, the music, all felt great...perhaps helped by the fact that we'd all had a cocktail first.

I noticed lots of things that I hadn't spotted previously - the defaced posters on the walls, the way that some shots were designed to look like Weimar-era art, the way that Sally Bowles looks just like Louise Brooks...

Afterwards I found out that Liza Minnelli was only 26 when it was made.

Watched in the middle floor at Springhill, from an old-fashioned DVD - I think one of those ones that were given away with newspapers for a while in the early 2000s.
