“Chicago”
2002
An ahead-of-its-time Broadway show finally clicked with the ’90s revival, when everyone was more familiar with the horrors of celebrity justice and ready to embrace a mordant satire of that phenomenon. With its Fosse-esque edits, the movie made it work in a whole new medium, a healthy dose of razzle dazzle spicing up the tale of convicted killers Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones battling for the spotlight. Social commentary has rarely been this entertaining.
