Driven by frank and funny conversations with the glittering star of Cabaret herself, this star-studded tribute focuses on the dazzling yet complex period of Liza Minnelli’s life starting in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland. As she confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a legendary performer, director Bruce David Klein charts Minnelli’s rise through a series of key mentors, each shaping a facet of her captivating personae, from French crooner Charles Aznavour to legendary choreographer Bob Fosse to fashion icon Halston. A “scintillating” (Variety), “poignant” (Deadline), and “gorgeous portrait of a legendary showbiz survivor” (The Hollywood Reporter), this compelling chronicle illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli—her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability—and her enduring status as one of the greatest, most original performers of our times.
