other reader comments on Peter Bradshaw's 5.5.2022 Cabaret article:


~~ I'm always amazed how clear sighted Isherwood was.  It's extraordinarily rare that someone can write as he did without the benefit of hindsight.  This film is a gem.


~~ 'Cabaret' is truly a masterpiece of story telling.  As a companion piece, I recommend reading 'Before the Deluge, A Portrait of Berlin in the 1920s' by Otto Friedrich (1972), which covers in detail all that's in the film.
