Cabaret (1972), directed by Bob Fosse, is a bold and unforgettable musical set in 1930s Berlin, on the edge of political collapse. Inside the smoky Kit Kat Klub, performer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli in an Oscar-winning role) sings, loves, and escapes reality while the rise of Nazism quietly darkens the world outside.

Stylish, provocative, and emotionally sharp, Cabaret uses music and performance not to comfort, but to expose — desire, denial, and the cost of looking away. A landmark film that feels unsettlingly relevant, where glitter and danger dance side by side.

Time: 4:45-7:00 pm EST
