Filmspotting Presents: The Film That Blew My Mind - Kirsten Johnson on All That Jazz
director and legendary cinematographer kirsten johnson is known for nonfiction work that is inventive, artful, expressive, and maximal. the same can be said of the film that blew her mind -- bob fosse’s all that jazz. the semi-autobiographical film brings us joe gideon (roy scheider), a peripatetic creative force working simultaneously to mount a major broadway production and complete post-production on a feature film, all while maintaining a lifestyle fueled by cigarettes, pills, one-night stands, and visine, and still finding time for his adoring 12-year old daughter, michelle. we learn why the iconic film first transfixed kirsten, and how she continues to be inspired by fosse’s ingenious use of dance, documentary, theater, music, and more. host john cooper shares his personal ties to the film, calling on his days in new york’s theater scene of the 1970s. and co-host tabitha jackson (a.k.a. wife of kirsten) does her level best to maintain her professional distance as the conversation unfolds. listen and subscribe to the film that blew my mind on apple podcasts. learn more about your ad choices. visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
