All That Jazz (1979)

[Akijama]

The preternaturally gifted director and choreographer Bob Fosse turned the camera on his own life for this madly imaginative, self-excoriating musical masterpiece. Roy Scheider gives the performance of his career as Joe Gideon, whose exhausting work schedule—mounting a Broadway production by day and editing his latest movie at night—and routine of amphetamines, booze, and sex are putting his health at serious risk. Fosse burrows into Gideon’s (and his own) mind, rendering his interior world as phantasmagoric spectacle. Assembled with visionary editing that makes dance come alive on-screen as never before, and overflowing with sublime footwork by the likes of Ben Vereen, Leland Palmer, and the awesomely leggy Ann Reinking, All That Jazz pushes the musical genre to personal depths and virtuosic aesthetic heights.

[Show spoiler]I believe that James Finn (of Fox) mentioned someting about blu-ray release, almost a year ago. Well, never mind that now, as The Hollywood Reporter confirmed a blu-ray release.

The 4K restoration of All That Jazz will be used as the master for an upcoming Blu-Ray release, and 4K Digital Cinema Package (the digital equivalent of a film print) will be created for repertory cinemas.

Full story on restoration here

I'd miss this info, if it weren't for Penton-Man, So, credit goes to him.

Byw, my guess for this release is sometime next year; to coincide with 35th Anniversary of the movie.
