Chicago Review

this is so fucking good. every moment of it is just jam packed with COLORS and LIGHTS and SOUND and the PERIOD PIECE of it all. It's just such a spectacle, a triumph of the movie musical form, which is so fucking rare in every era but ESPECIALLY nowadays, when all our movie musicals feel anemic and shameful and afraid to use SETS and afraid to use LIGHTING and afraid to live in the moment of the SONG!!! it's about the SONG!! it's about the THEATRE!!! it's about the GROTESQUERIE of HUMAN EMOTION and the flashbulbs POPPING and the architecture of the STAGE itself!
