Spectacular, spectacular...

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2002)

If that statement doesn't sum up this film, nothing will! The acting was superb, Nicole Kidman deserved her Oscar nomination for the role of Satine (her part in "The Others" was just a simpering whiny woman who quite frankly got on my nerves!) Ewan McGregor was amazing, who knew he had that much vocal talent!
This movie made me laugh and cry.. sometimes all in the same scene, if that isn't the mark of a good film then shoot me.
I found this one of the most enjoyable cinema experiences of this century.. hell even the last decade! Also having recently bought it on DVD, it makes the transition from large to small screen very well. Having the audio track for the visually impaired narrated by Ewan McGregor is also a nice touch that a lot of other film companies could take heed from.
Quite simply this is movie making at it's best!
