In 1931 Berlin, young American Sally Bowles performs at the Kit Kat Klub. A new British arrival in the city, Brian Roberts, moves into the boarding house where Sally lives. A reserved academic and writer, Brian gives English lessons to earn a living while completing his doctorate. Sally tries seducing Brian and suspects he may be gay. Brian tells Sally that on three previous occasions he has tried to have physical relationships with women, all of which failed. They become friends, and Brian witnesses Sally's anarchic, bohemian life in the last days of the German Weimar Republic.

Genres Musical theatre, Documentary, Musical
Themes Films about music and musicians, Documentary films about music and musicians, Documentaire sur une personnalité, Jazz films, Musical films
Actors Michael Peter Balzary, Chris Isaak, Lisa Marie, Rodney Harvey, Robbi Chong, Scott Coffey

A group of Baker fans, ranging from ex-associates to ex-wives and children, talk about the man. Weber’s film traces the man’s career from the 1950s, playing with jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Gerry Mulligan, and Russ Freeman, to the 1980s, when his heroin addiction and domestic indifference kept him in Europe. By juxtaposing these two decades, Weber presents a sharp contrast between the younger, handsome Baker — the statuesque idol who resembled a mix of James Dean and Jack Kerouac — to what he became, “a seamy looking drugstore cowboy-cum-derelict,” as J. Hoberman put it in his Village Voice review.

Actors Mel Blanc, Gérard Surugue

Le rideau se lève, et entre sur scène Bugs Bunny, pianiste en queue-de-pie, qui se dirige vers un piano à queue. Faisant face au public, il ôte une multitude de gants (dont un de boxe) qu'il portait, pour ne garder que ceux qu'il garde habituellement. Alors qu'il s'apprête à jouer les premières notes de la Rhapsodie hongroise nº 2 de Liszt, un spectateur l'interrompt avec un accès de toux. Bugs attend avec désapprobation qu'il arrête de tousser avant de poursuivre. À la seconde quinte de toux, Bugs sort un pistolet et tire sur le spectateur récidiviste. Bugs Bunny entame enfin la rhapsodie, avec grâce et dextérité, même s'il s'accorde une petite pause-carotte et s'emmêle véritablement les doigts sur un passage délicat à exécuter. Alors qu'il joue en gambadant debout le long du clavier, il reçoit un appel téléphonique. Il pose sa question rituelle : « quoi d'neuf docteur ? » en croquant une carotte, et répond au correspondant qu'il n'a rien à voir avec un certain « Franz Liszt », avant de poursuivre au piano. Bugs fredonne un passage dont les notes lui font penser à l'air de Figaro.

Each family is given a conscription notice, requiring one man from each family to join the Chinese army. When Fa Mulan hears that her elderly father Fa Zhou, the only man in their family, is once more to go to war, she becomes anxious and apprehensive. She decides to deal with this herself by disguising herself as a man so that she can go to war instead of her father. When her family learns of Mulan's departure, they all become anxious. Grandmother Fa, Mulan's grandmother, prays to the family ancestors for Mulan's safety. The ancestors then order their "Great Stone Dragon" to protect Mulan. The ancestors are unaware that the statue of Great Stone Dragon failed to come to life, and that Mushu, a small dragon, is the one to go and protect Mulan.
