A nice, short look at the work of Bob Fosse, from his friends and former dancers, including the wonderful Liza Minnelli.
We hear that Fosse "creates no fear" on set, which brings the best out of his dancers. By this, what is meant is not that he does not add fear, but that any fear is removed. A hard task indeed! He is said to bring sensuality, sexuality and danger to the dance...
What was unfortunate is that this documentary focuses more on style, less on biography. That is all fine and good, but it really says nothing about who Fosse was. One expects his friends to say nice things, but what of the man himself? He is certainly a fascinating, complex figure...
