Tha azz it it 4( 41 ix it lx it it ls Four Balloons ********************************************************* By Shirley Stevens If your senses need rejuvenation, you'll be recharged if you see "All That Jazz." Talk about a picture with every thing! It has a love interest (several, in fact), nudity, double dealing, fantasy, dancing and singing, pictorial open heart surgery; it deals with paternal neglect, the work obsession, artistic temperament, burnout, self-doubt as a motivator in creative productivity, the artist's dilemma, the artist's stress -- the necessity to excite the adrenalin with amphetamines in the morning, and soothe the whirling dervish stom ach with plop-plop-fizz-fizz by evening -- and the devastating harm of smoking. One could hardly think of the main character without also seeing the cig arette before it reached the brain cells. "All That Jazz," so I've read, is based on portions of Bob Fosse's life. This film is a virtual feast, cinema at its best -- an essay in pictures. It has been cut the way a photographer crops a photograph -- to highlight, to empha size, to comment. The camera crew's notes must have been an intensive array of directorial shorthand (EX CU of Visine nozzle on eyeball; NO SOUND AS CAMERA DOLLIES TO PAN SHOT of hundreds of chorus line tryouts; SHOT of this; CUT TO that, CUT TO this, CUT TO that, etc.l. That is not to say that the dialogue is superflous. On the contrary, Joe Gideon's (Roy Scheider) conversations with the angel of death (Jessica Lange) during his stuporous post-operative state are keys to Gideon's inner sanc tum. The spectre of death makes inquisitors of us all as we review with ruthless honesty, with calm irony, our darker sides that we have skillfully repressed during our lives. The plot unfolds as Gideon exam ines the value of life via his delusions after the operation. His hallucinations contain painful, bothersome, unan swered questions which originated during his life. Whenever a question is posed by the angel of death (in the persona of a beautiful female, a signifi cant fantasy in itself), the picture returns to the real-life events that provoke or fill in the dream state -- a useful device from the 'standpoint of interpreting the picture, because the i SGA and President's Council P "Oh, April 2 in the auditoriu at 3, 5:30, 8, i and 10:30 p.m i Admission •1. donation events of real life (the preoperative period) are interspersed with Gideon's perception of them as they were laid down in his subconscious to be resur rected by anesthesia. Gideon was an enigma to his friends. Was he man or machine? That he was human (and how could it be otherwise) was evident when his head sank to his pillow in resignation after hearing an acerbic account of his movie by a TV critic. Also, his encounter with mortality during the final "acceptance" number -- the most brilliantly con ceived production number of his life, had he only lived to convert from the stage of fantasy to that of Broadway -- is incontrovertible proof that he is not God (even though he often thought he was God). Perhaps there was no shame in this; yet, what possible dignity could there be in the suggestion that he was only an ordinary human with female tendencies? Now we are getting some w•nere. Roy Scheider struck me as one dimensional. Whether this was inten tional or not is hard to say. Whether it's to Scheeider's credit that he repro duced Fosse so faithfully (as a self centered, shallow, immature artist) or failed as an actor is difficult to deter mine if you do not know Bob Fosse, which I do not. Nevertheless. Fosse has earned a well-deserved rest. He has created a testimony to his considerable talent and can surely be proud of this masterful achievement. "All That Jazz" may be seen at the Union Deposit Eric Theatre.
