Obi Wan stop shouting....

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2005)

Nicole could sing... Ewan shouted. Nevertheless, with Moulin Rouge Baz Luhrmann delivered another visually stunning film, similar in style to Romeo and Juliet. I like this pop culture take on the musical. Hollywood just doesn't make musicals anymore, and its interesting that this one was shot entirely in Australia.
Moulin Rouge is unusual. The leads give their best, the supporting cast is great and I quite liked the music. However, in saturating the film in song, Luhrmann doesn't really let the characters develop. Moulin Rouge looks pretty and is certainly different.
I did just buy the 2 disc DVD and the extras are great.
