CGiii Comment
If there has ever been a film that polarizes the population...then, here it is...you either love it or despise it.
The costumes and sets, deservedly, won Oscars...but, the fake, facial hair was scandalously ignored.
A breakneck, kaleidoscopic, conceptual dissection of modern tunes...with a particular proclivity towards Madonna...perhaps, she should have starred!
Reminiscent of the first day of the Harrods sale...chaotic and incomprehensible.
Luhrmann's career started off with sparkle - with this and the appalling Australia - that sparkle has been reduced to a flatulent fizz.

The(ir) Blurb...
The year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine.
