Spectacular Spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2001)

So delighting, so exciting. An amazing film, who would have thought Nicole Kidman could look so amazing and play the role of a prostitute with such skill...she definately shined especially in the comedy scenes such as when she was attempting to hide her lover, Christian from the Duke...and that voice, she certainly can carry a tune very well....i would have to say she did a much better job of singing than Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets.
The background of the film, created by special effects was very impressive as well. The dance moves and the directing were superb. However i feel that most the credits of this amazing film lies in its musical section, throwing in all types of music from all over, from "the hills are alive with the sound of music" to "diamonds and a girls best friend". The whole concept of where the origins of the songs though not at all logical or making sense... but then again... it's not suppose to be seen that way. Enjoy the film, as a musical, as we've not had such an amazing and spectacular musical in the cinemas for a long time.
