Here we are now, entertain us...

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2001)

Moulin Rouge is a splendid, opulent, extravagant celebration of dance, music and above all things, love. It will be completely lost on anyone for whom dance' is a drunken stagger at a wedding reception, for whom music' is a sorry collection of dust-gathering Celine Dion CDs or whose idea of love' is putting up with somebody just because you are scared of being left on your own. If this adequately describes you, don't bother going to see the movie, you will not understand it, and therefore you will hate it. Unfortunate really, as Moulin Rouge is quite simply the most entertaining, different and interesting film of 2001.
