Now I know what it's like to be on pot!

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2002)

That's pretty much the effect the movie left on me. It was bright splashes of sound, colour and general halucigenic imagery that it leaves your head spinning when you're done watching it.
Not that it's a bad movie. I've liked, although the first hour Luhrmann tries to be, maybe, a bit TOO weird. He tries to give us too much in the first hour, and then there's far to much post-production slow motion. Far too much.
Other than that Moulin Rouge! is great! The last hour is brilliant, even though it is a bit raunchy. And who can forget Nicole and Ewan's singing! Great!
But I guess, like pot, you might be left with a headache at end. Beware the Weird Red Windmill if you don't like Strange Cinema.
And if you don't like it, I understand completely!
