“It’s showtime, folks!” The paradigm espoused by the director-choreographer at the center of Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz represents clearly a “life is show business/show business is life” mindset. And the film makes good on that promise as one of the most provocative, surrealistic quasi-autobiographical musicals begins to unfold. All That Jazz is really like no other movie musical ever made, and its uneasy but gripping amalgamation of song and dance with adult views of sexual coupling and ambition and ego run wild pretty much guarantees its singular place among the great achievements of 20th century cinema.
