Acid Trip for the Senses

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2002)

"Moulin Rouge!" is not a see once movie. It's not even a see twice movie. This film begs to be watched many times, if only to grasp to the details. Everyone involved outdid themselves, especially the breathtaking Nicole Kidman as the tragic Satine and luscious Ewan McGregor as Christian.
There are so many songs, so many dazzling camera angles, so many gorgeous costumes that it starts turning into a wild ride beyond the scope of heaven and even hell. It's truly the embodiment of a cinematic acid trip. Incredible. Outrageous. Unbelievable. Watch it!
