I think Baz Luhrmann is taking the p***!

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2002)

Over-acting, poor singing, mugging, excruciating dialogue, irritating camera cuts, great music mutilated, this film has it all! This is clearly a self-indulgent movie which has artistic pretensions. It's the Emperor's new clothes in celluloid. I think Baz Luhrmann is taking the p***!
