Moulin Rouge

Tuesday 30th September 20034:00 PM

Moulin Rouge.... Its hard to know where to start.... This is in my humble opinion a fine example of the great entertainment cinema can offer.

Ewan McGregor is Christian, the penniless poet who falls for Nicole Kidman’s Satine, a courtesan at the Moulin Rouge. Their love story then lays out against the larger than life sets of the Moulin Rouge... including a giant elephant!!!

But Moulin Rouge is about more than just its two leads, there are some fine supporting turns, especially from John Leguizamo as Toulouse Lautrec. The visuals of this film are fantastic, and it also provides a fun game ... can you name the original songs the lyrics come from??

To be honest if you don’t enjoy at least some part of Moulin Rouge ... you ought to seriously examine what you want from a movie, I haven’t met someone who’s seen it and hasn’t found at least one good thing to say about it... that’s not a small achievement!!
