After one hour I walked out and got my money back.

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2001)

Normally, I will watch any movie to the end. This movie was the exception. Now "Moulin Rouge" joins "Top Banana", starring Phil Silvers, as too unbearable to sit though to completion in the theater. After over an hour of watching quirky camera work and being assaulted by cute but trite music--I was forced to bail out. Satine should have died within the first half hour and taken the rest of the characters with her.
