Moulin Rouge is a feast for the senses; the score, the plot,the costumes, the choreography, the acting, the set design and attractiveness of the protagonists...all work together to make one of the greatest love stories of all time.

Courtisan Satine, of the Moulin Rouge falls in love with a poor writer Christian and a whirl-wind romance insues; which must be kept secret from 'The Duk... read more

The truth is I adore this movie. But I'm not sure I recommend this movie. It's the story of a young idealistic writer who falls in love with an actress/courtesan, and trying to keep the rich investor of the show from knowing it. It's quite hokey, but embraces this hokiness with all out abandon. It's melodramatic and absurd, and is definitely not for everyone. But the visuals are wonderful. T... read more

Ok so when you first watch this movie, it may seem girly and dumb. I mean, the songs are not original, and the storyline is a bit cheesy. But I gotta say, I did like it. Alright, yes, I did fast forward the Like A Virgin remix part, (Gosh, that was really creepy.) But beyond that, this movie really gets to me. I mean the the whole point of it is "The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn Is Just To Lov... read more

Description: Moulin Rouge! (/ˌmuːlæn ˈruːʒ/, from French: [mulɛ̃ ˈʁuʒ][4]) is a 2001 Australian–American pastiche-jukebox musical film directed, produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann.

Beautiful Parisian Extravaganza!

“Moulin Rouge portrays a complicated, passionate and powerful love story, that is also incredibly moving. I am 17, and I thought the film was near-perfect, I mean I loved the overall look of the film with its gorgeous costumes, dazzling choreography and sumptuous cinematography. The script was very poetic, especially when Christian is comparing Satine, the beautiful courtesan to a "sparkling diamond", and when Toulouse exclaims "I hope the piano is tuned". The songs are wonderful, particularly "Come What May" and "The Show Must Go On", and everybody in the cast does their own singing, and I honestly didn't know Ewen MacGregor could sing, he has an amazing voice. I have heard too many complaints saying there are too many songs, but do bear in mind it is a musical, and to me, being an aspirin” read more

There, Christian falls in love with the enchanting diamond-clad cabaret singer Satine (Nicole Kidman), who's dying of tuberculosis and is engaged to the Duke (Richard Roxborough).
