Synopsis

Cabaret, a 1972 musical, is renowned for vividly portraying the atmosphere of 1970s Berlin. Liza Minnelli's iconic performance as Sally Bowles and the film’s distinctive recreation of the time have shaped our image of Weimar Berlin. This documentary features Alan Cumming interviewing those who worked on the original film, including Minnelli, cabaret performers like Ute Lemper, and the film's composer. Cumming examines the story's origins in Christopher Isherwood's writings and contrasts the fictional Sally Bowles with the real-life woman who inspired her. He also explores the inspiration behind the film’s famous songs, revealing stories of original composers and performers like Marlene Dietrich. Ultimately, Alan reveals the tragic fates that befell many of the cabaret artists at the hands of the Nazis.
