LIZA: A TRULY
TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY
This star-studded tribute brings into focus the dazzling,
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 bona fide legend.
Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb,
Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful participation from a
coterie of colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben
Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with the revelatory
participation by the star herself, the film illuminates the contradiction of
Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal
expectations and towering talent – the friction of which fueled her stunning
rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original
performers in the history of entertainment. (USA, 2024, 104 mins, English | Dir. Bruce David Klein)
