Screening of Bob Fosse's 1979 film All That Jazz at the Hyperreal Film Club, presented in an immersive pop-up environment.
Hyperreal Film Club is screening Bob Fosse's All That Jazz on Friday, July 31, at their space at 301 Chicon St. It's a 1979 film and one of Fosse's most personal works—almost an autobiography. The story follows Joe Gideon, a driven Broadway choreographer and film director played by Roy Scheider, as he works himself to death and reckons with the personal cost of his quest for greatness. It takes its cue from Fellini's 8 1/2, and it's described as a look at the allure and the torture of show business, carried by iconic performances from Gwen Verdon and Ann Reinking and closing with the hallucinatory number "Bye Bye Life."
Hyperreal Film Club is an Austin collective that stages movie experiences in unusual, thoughtful, and immersive pop-up environments while amplifying local artists. That's the context for this one, too—they're the ones presenting the screening. If you've seen the film before, it's a good one to revisit on a big screen; if you haven't, it's a heavy, stylized piece of cinema that earns its reputation.
