The one musical love story I wouldn't miss for a life

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2001)

Well, I came out of the theater shocked, thrilled, sad, amazed, literally with my jaw somewhere in the ankle area. I never thought that a musical (I think that is what they call such movies) could appeal to me so strongly, none to say a love story. Moulin Rouge was imho the best love story I have ever had the privilege to watch. Many of them are typical, only the scenery changes. Here the scenery is blown to such shocking contents that you feel as if being in a theme park of some sort. And it's not a crappy theme park.
After a movie, besides the "feel" of it I always try to analyze it's good and it's bad points. After Moulin Rouge I could not find any weak points. The directing was great (thx Buz :), the acting (I could not imagine a better line up, all the roles were great), the COSTUMES, the scenery, the drama! I hope you won't take me for a freak but I just came back from THE SHOW and I'm still hot over it.
You will have many great moments while watching this movie, from mad laughter, through sadness, despair to contemplation. Great job.
