Cross LA BOHEME with CABARET, throw in a little bit of RENT, and you might almost begin to describe Baz Luhrmann's visually opulent, fast-paced, funny, heartrending MOULIN ROUGE. The film, which premiered as the opener to the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, is a musical set in 1899 Paris at the notorious Montmartre cabaret club, the Moulin Rouge. Directed by Baz Luhrmann (WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO AND JULIET, STRICTLY BALLROOM), the movie stars Nicole Kidman as the high-kicking courtesan, Satine; Ewan McGregor as the sensitive poet, Christian; and John Leguizamo as the flamboyant artist and match... maker, Toulouse-Lautrec. Luhrmann's use of eclectic lighting and saturated color, the fast zooms and quick cuts of his camera, and his magnificent costumes and sets perfectly capture the excess and freneticism for which the Moulin Rouge was famous. Beautifully led by McGregor and Kidman, the flawless supporting cast brings to life the culture of belle epoque Paris with magical realism. Above all, the anachronistic, energetic contemporary soundtrack is what drives MOULIN ROUGE, with popular songs by L'il Kim, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, and Beck--as well as Kidman and McGregor adding their own superb vocals.

TRUTHFULLY - THE WORST FILM I EVER ONLY SAW 15 MINUTES OF
Boring trash. Nothing more to say, I believed the hype about this film and could stand no more than 15 minutes before switching off in disgust...this was 3 years ago and to this day, it remains the worst film I have ever seen bar none.
Give it a chance...
I can understand how people didn't enjoy this movie. I can also understand why people who switched off after 15 minutes - I only didn't because I wasn't watching it alone!
This movie is so loud, vibrant, flashy, showy, insane, and just plain in-yer-face BIG, that it's kinda difficult to just sit there and watch.
But give it time. It settles down after 15 minutes, the characters become more endearing, the plot makes more sense, and you start to actually enjoy the lavish visuals on show. If your a music fan, you'll also have fun spotting where one classic song (eg, by Elton John) melds almost seamlessly with another (oooh, maybe Nirvana?!)

Moulin Rouge is a crazy, wacky, anachronistic, no holds barred musical movie that can annoy and enchant its audience at the same time.
Watch and hear Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan Mac Gregor) and Nicole Kidman hit the high notes, and Tom Waits belt out an unforgettable version of Roxane from The Police.
Its historical background will also show you how the late 19th century Bohemians were the forerunners of the Beatniks and the Hippies.
There is no movie like it, and you should just check it out.
My favourite movie! I have watched it so many times and its still awesome. Beautiful, sad and funny too. Actors are perfect as well as the songs in it. A must see! Makes me cry. If you havent watched it yet I highly recommend it.
the first time i watched this i must have been about 9 and didnt really like romances. i watched it with a couple of friends and we re-wound the end over and over when ewan mcgregor howls because we found it so funny. Now, however i find it more interesting than comical value. This film is great and one of my favourites. 5 stars.
