Cabaret Blu-ray

The film begins in 1931 Berlin. The Nazis are just starting to insinuate themselves into the politics of the Weimar Republic. The Kit Kat Club is a somewhat tawdry nightclub where people can come and be entertained and forget their troubles. It is there that Joel Grey works as an entertainer and master of ceremonies, and Lisa Minelli plays the breakout role of Sally Bowles, an American seeking stardom, looking for her big break. Michael York is an Englishman whose path crosses that of Sally Bowles, and, for a while, his life becomes interwoven with hers. Marisa Berensen is achingly lovely as the Jewish department store heiress who becomes heartbreaking aware of what may be in store for her in the future.
