Stanley Kubrick is my favorite director. So, when I learned that he once said that 1979’s All That Jazz was quite possibly the best film he'd ever seen (which can be found in John Baxter's book, Stanley Kubrick: A Biography), I was nonplussed.
Really? All That Jazz? Isn't that a musical? Because I don't know about you, but given Kubrick's filmography, he didn't seem like the kind of guy who was deep into musicals. But then, I actually watched All That Jazz, and okay. Now I get it.
