Just great!

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2001)

I really enjoyed watching Moulin Rouge! and I'm not even into musicals. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman's performances make it worthwhile; I was a great fan of theirs already, but had no idea they could also sing (and so well). The whole film, costumes, dance, jokes, etc., is excellent, and it's so good to watch a movie which doesn't evolve around just car chases, big explosions, martial arts fights, etc. (which seem so common nowadays). The only downside to me was that, although I can understand English quite well, I could hardly understand the actors' lines during the big dance scenes, so had to read the subtitles and miss a little of the (outstanding) visual production. The choice of songs was brilliant, felt really good hearing "your song", "show must go on", "up where we belong", etc... Definitely, a must!
