Fosse!
Bob Fosse's brilliant tribute to...himself.
We see the man live, almost die and return to his beloved stage. Roy Schieder is dead on as Fosse, he looks like him, he smokes like him and he moves like him.
Ann Reinking, Fosse's real girlfriend, knows the part so well that it oozes out of her.
Jessica Lange is breathtaking as Death. She encompasses all the beautiful women this man knew and loved and hopes to see on the other side. She is able to best him like no woman has and it makes him fall deeper and deeper for her.
This film is about life as a stage, to paraphrase the Bard, but is also about a life of addiction: to booze, women and admiration.
A lovely tribute to a brilliant man.
