Star 80 Series: All That Fosse Director: Bob Fosse, Country: USA, Release: 1983, Runtime: 100 Studio Print Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Village Voice article “Death of a Playmate” by Teresa Carpenter, Star 80 tells the story of Playboy Playmate and aspiring actress Dorothy Stratten (Mariel Hemingway), who was murdered by her obsessive and estranged husband Paul Snider (Eric Roberts). Fosse and his collaborators, including the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist, capture the tacky and materialistic world of Playboy celebrity culture at the end of ‘70s (the title is taken from the license plate on Snider and Stratten’s Mercedes 450 SL). This is Fosse’s most extreme film: he rubs our noses in the exploitive ugliness and overflowing sleaze of the scene into which Snider thrust Stratten, where flesh-peddling and grooming for stardom are all but interchangeable. He also pushes the sudden, dramatic shifts in time, space and focal length with which he had played in all of his previous movies. At times, Star 80 resembles a film by Nicolas Roeg or Ken Russell, but the poisonous sentiment toward show business at its most rancid was a Fosse specialty. With Cliff Robertson in a brilliant turn as Hef. This would be Fosse’s last film. Four years later, he would die at the age of 60.
