The return of the movie musical!
This Hollywood adaptation of the classic Broadway musical sparkles with glamour and reverberates with the energy of good, old-fashioned song and dance. As the film leaps into its first riveting act, Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), one half of the famous number she performs with her sister, arrives at the night club late, disheveled, and with blood on her hands. Nonetheless, she goes onstage unhindered and wows the crowd with her shimmying rendition of "All That Jazz." Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) a young blond who dreams of someday being famous like Velma, watches from the audience with eyes full of envy. Later, as the cops pick up Velma for the murder of her sister, sending her fame to all-time heights as she becomes a tabloid sensation, Roxie also commits a crime of passion, shooting a lover who falsely promised to secure her cabaret debut. The girls wind up together in jail, where Mama Morton (Queen Latifah), a compassionate guard, is their only hope of redemption; and Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) is the lawyer who can get them out. There, through wonderfully familiar songs like "Razzle Dazzle," "Cell-Block Tango," and "Cellophane Man", Roxie and Velma tell their story of competing for bad-girl celebrity. Director Rob Marshall presents a loveable "CHICAGO" that shares all the grit and grime of the Bob Fosse Broadway original with phenomenal performances by this grouping of Hollywood stars. The dizzying camerawork and dazzling sets make an easy transition from stage to film. Oscar winner for Best Picture of 2002!Lire l'avis complet...
Broadway Meets Hollywood with Chicago
Broadway Meets Academy Awards and the Golden Screen with Chicago. Many mainstream reviews started – or at least included – the word DAZZLING. That word makes sense… the combination of fine acting, excellent and experienced plot, fantastic singing and dancing makes for a ‘dazzling performance.’ Chicago was the IT movie and DVD of 2002 and certainly will have staying-power and should be a staple of any standard DVD collection.
From the Chicago DVD box: Winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture and starring Academy Award nominee (Best Actress, Chicago) and Golden Globe winner (Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy) and Golden Globe winner (Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, Chicago), Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones’s Diary), Academy Award winner (Best Supporting Actress, Chicago) Catherine Zeta-Jones (Traffic), Academy Award nominee (Best Supporting Actress, Chicagao) Queen Latifah (Bringing Down the House), Golden Globe winner (Best Actor in a musical or comedy, Chicago) Richard Gere (Unfaithful) and Academy Award nominee (Best Supporting Actor, Chicago) John C. Reilly (Gangs of New York) – Chicago is a dazzling specatacle cheered by audiences and critics alike. At a time when crimes of passion result in celebrity headlines, nightclub sensation Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) and spotlight-seeking Roxie Hart (Zellweger) both find themselves sharing space on Chicago’s famed Murderess Row. They also share Billy Flynn (Gere), the town’s slickest lawyer with a talent for turning notorious defendants into local legends. But in Chicago, there’s only room for one legend.Lire l'avis complet...

Zeta-Jones, Zellweiger, Latifah & Gere were fantastic!!
The storyline, the music and the dancing were great. All the stars did an excellent job. Richard Gere's tapdancing scene knocked me out!! He must be a professional dancer. The songs and music were nothing short of majestic. A must-see, especially for Broadway musical lovers.Lire l'avis complet...
