8/16 - All That Jazz
Wednesday (8/16) we’ll be screening All That Jazz from 1979, directed by Bob Fosse, a semi-autobiographical story of Bob Fosse’s life as a dancer, choreographer and director, starring Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon, Fosse’s surrogate figure in the film. All That Jazz went on to win four Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Film Editing.
This week’s movie was selected by our own Piper:
Lights, jazz hands, showbiz . . . this goes out to all the theater kids who curved their shoulders for Bob Fosse. All That Jazz, a long-time watchlist contender, & more recently, one of Greta Gerwig’s film inspirations for Barbie (2023)! Looking forward to this 70s bang-out whirlwind.
All That Jazz will be playing at Working Room Wednesday, August 16. Doors will open at 7:30 PM and the movie will begin promptly at 8:00 PM! If you’d like to contribute something, a beverage donation to the studio fridge is always so appreciated! <3
