Acting superb and music enchanting

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2008)

Words can barely describe this movie. It is original that if for sure. The characters are absolutely brilliant and Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor have voices of angels. The story follows Christian, a writer who moves to France near the Moulin Rouge. The dirty underworld of drugs and hookers. However, when fate takes him there one night he sees the shows lead star. The diamond, Shantine. He quickly falls in love but she is caught between everything she knows and a strange feeling. Love. The Moulin Rouge show is trying to sell her off with a foul duke who offers her everything. She must choose between love or live with a fee which she has taught herself to take from everyone.
