"All That Jazz" is director Bob Fosse's prescient autobiography, which is about a decade after the film's release. There are some songs and dances interspersed in the film, but it is not a musical in the traditional sense, more like Fellini's "Eight and a Half", many of which are still expressed in 2002's "Chicago". The film has a strong narcissistic tendency, but it is definitely not biased blindly. Like the English title of "All That Jazz", it's all about "all about jazz". The body can be destroyed, the soul always sings, and by worldly standards, Joe cannot be called a good man. He abused drugs, was addicted to alcohol and tobacco, and could hook up with every woman in the city, but he would not give any woman a future.
"All That Jazz" is also Joe and Fox's three-step retrospective of their distant lives, and it's all about jazz
