Criterion is releasing a new, restored BLU-RAY/DVD release of Bob Fosse's 1979 musical masterpiece, All That Jazz.
Roy Scheider plays Fosse alter-ego "Joe Gideon," a sex and drugs prone workaholic balancing career (a new Broadway show while editing a new movie) with personal life. P.s. - the personal life sees less success than the professional.
Criterion’s amazing 4K restoration includes several new features:
- New 4K digital restoration, with 3.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
- Audio commentary featuring editor Alan Heim
- Selected-scene audio commentary by actor Roy Scheider
- New interviews with Heim and Fosse biographer Sam Wasson
- New conversation between actors Ann Reinking and Erzsebet Foldi
- Episode of the talk show Tomorrow from 1980, featuring director Bob Fosse and choreographer Agnes de Mille
- Interviews with Fosse from 1981 and 1986
- On-set footage
- Portrait of a Choreographer, a 2007 documentary on Fosse
- The Soundtrack: Perverting the Standards, a 2007 documentary about the film’s music
- Interview with George Benson from 2007, about his song “On Broadway,” which opens the film
- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Hilton Als
