This is an excellent movie, with a DVD to match it. The performances by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are extremely excellent. The songs suit the movie well. The DVD has excellent picture quality, and impressive sound quality. There are many, many features. Recommended! The principal genre of the movie is musical, but also it is a great movie of romance and drama. Is the most romantic film ever.One of the best movies I've ever seen!
Plot: A surprisingly love story take place A British poet moves to France and finds himself in a position to write a play for the Moulin Rouge. Soon thereafter, he falls in love with one of its stars, Satine. But the play and the Moulin Rouge will not go on unless a certain Duke invests his money into it.? The Duke is also in love with Satine and doesn't know about the secret love affair between the poet and Satine.
Critique: Ewan McGregor turns is a terrific performance as Christian, the young man who arrives in Paris with nothing more than spirit and a head filled with ideas of love. I'm not a huge fan of musicals but this film is just so brilliantly written and the acting is superb. You cannot possibly absorb it all in one viewing. I think if you do not appreciate this movie, you're not a romantic.
