Synopsis

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 matchmaker, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 3 Jun 2007
By Mrs. R. Nankervis - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched this film with little hope of being impressed but by the time the closing credits came on I was in tears.
this film is a mix of snappy editing, special effects and a 60ft elephant shaped building!!

so romantic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Luhrmann is capable of doing so much better, 4 Nov 2007
By C. O. DeRiemer (San Antonio, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Lavish and lush, but also pointless, full of camp and without wit. It seemed to me to be an adolescent's idea of sophistication. The direction was frenetic and I assume Luhrmann was aiming for an eccentric, romantic, funny style. For me, he didn't come close. The use of more-or-less contemporary popular songs just seemed to be "nudge, nudge" and unfunny. The dancing as well as the setups for the singing seemed clunky. The can-can sequence was all over the place; check out Renoir's French Cancan to see how a bawdy, rowdy can-can should be staged. Kidman has always seemed to me to be a somewhat cold, self-possessed actress. I was surprised at how loosened up she was here. Luhrmann was so good with Strictly Ballroom, where he used the same elements of exaggeration, talking directly to the camera, lush photography and a distinct style to great effect. You could almost see him pushing everything way to the brink with Moulin Rouge. This was a real disappointment.

A great film let down by the first 2 minutes. The narration at the start tells you what is going to happen.
However, a great entertaining film all the same. Read more
