Cabaret

1993 · 107 min

A smoky, seductive stage experience that slowly tightens into dread as the world outside darkens.

Tagline: Right this way your table's waiting!
Overview: Inside the Kit Kat Club in 1931 Berlin, starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles and the lewd Emcee sound the clarion call to decadence, while outside, the Nazi party grows into a brutal force. (Filmed live during the 1993 revival, Sam Mendes' directorial debut takes place at the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End.)
How it feels: Dark, satirical, campy and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, politics, sexuality, betrayal
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
