Cabaret (1972)

The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the insidious rise of fascism, antisemitism, and the suppression of individual freedoms in 1930s Berlin, serving as a powerful warning against political apathy and intolerance, which aligns with progressive ideology.

Set in 1931 Berlin, the film features a cast that is predominantly white, aligning with its historical context, without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative delves into themes of sexual fluidity and the escalating threat of Nazism and antisemitism, offering a critique of these specific political and social forces rather than broadly portraying traditional identities in a negative light.
