All That Jazz
Joe Gideon is at the top of the heap, one of the most successful directors and choreographers in musical theater. But he can feel his world slowly collapsing around him - his obsession with work has almost destroyed his personal life, and only his bottles of pills keep him going.
Critics Sentiment
Joe performs elaborate Bye Bye Life variety show
Highly sexualized topless rehearsal number frustrates backers
The film drops to its lowest point during the controversial topless rehearsal sequence, then builds steadily toward the acclaimed finale.
All That Jazz opens with universal acclaim for its kinetic energy and Fosse's signature style, then becomes more divisive during its middle sections as the sexual content and self-indulgence test some viewers. The film redeems itself with a spectacular finale that critics consistently praise as a masterwork of musical cinema, cementing its reputation despite earlier controversial moments.
