Moulin Rouge


Probably the film I have seen more than any other would be Moulin Rouge, I must admit that the majority of those viewings were in the early hours of the morning after a night out, sometimes locally, sometimes further afield!


Moulin Rouge was the 2nd film from Baz Luhurmann, following the wonderfully Australian Strictly Ballroom.


The story revolves round Christian (Ewan McGregor), a penniless writer and Satine (Nicole Kidman), a beautiful courtesan, and takes place in the world famous Moulin Rouge in Paris, close to Montmartre.
Christian travels to Paris to live the Bohemian dream, he believes there he will find the inspiration to write his masterwork, he never thought he'd lose his heart.


The Moulin Rouge is a hedonistic delight, where dreams come true, for the right price!




Baz Luhrmann uses a very vibrant palette and re imagined popular songs to help tell his story to great effect, it's an audio visual treat!


There is only one original song in the film, and that is Christian and Satine's song, and it is used heartrendingly effectively.


The supporting cast are fantastic as well with the like of John Leguizamo as Toulouse -Lautrec, Jim Broadbent as the wonderful Harold Zidler, Richard Roxburgh as the outrageously sleazy Duke and of course the gorgeous Kylie Minogue as the Green Fairy!


If you've never seen this movie, shame on you, I suggest you grab the Absinthe, turn the lights off, turn the volume up and brace yourself for the rollercoaster ride that is Moulin Rouge!
