ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY

LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY

One film is barely enough to encompass all the facets of Liza Minnelli’s life and career, but director Klein pulls it off with many a humorously bossy aside from the Oscar-winning CABARET star herself. This portrait puts the emphasis on a lifetime of meaningful relationships with mentors including Kay Thompson, Bob Fosse, and Halston as young Liza emerges from the shadow of her famous father, film director Vincente Minnelli, and her legendary mother Judy Garland to become one of the most extraordinary artists of our time. Appearances by friends and collaborators include Mia Farrow, Chita Rivera, Ben Vereen, George Hamilton, and more. Running commentary by musician Michael Feinstein pulls it all together with flair.

“Liza Minnelli’s life proves as radiant as her art in Bruce David Klein’s scintillating documentary.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“A gorgeous portrait of a legendary showbiz survivor, warmly celebratory but also unquestionably authentic.” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
