All that Jazz

Boom baby, loved this movie. Cinematography-Lovely, Acting-superb, great composition and movement within each shot (granted thats easy to do with a dancing piece like this, but still. impressive. It shows as well because it had 11 oscar nominations and 6 wins including best set decorator, best actor, best picture, best director etc. Th editing almost was Requiem for a Dream and Spun style (All that Jazz coming first, premiering back in 1979) but none the less, I liked it and like that quick close-up cut away style. It worked well with the piece because it gives the audience a little jerk awake each time the we are brought in at a close-up level and at the same time our main character Joe Gideon, played by Roy Schneider, is being propelled on by his speed pills.
Although we didn't get a chance to finish the movie what I saw I really enjoyed. I would recommend it and am going to go out and rent it soon so I can finish it. (Note to self)
