Briliant

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2002)

This is definetly a movie to be seen twice , if one is going to give it ANY kind of review. That should be mandatory for this web page. From the opening sequence of the conductor reminding us that- All the world is a stage ,to the stimulating camera work , the magnificent score, costumes and set decor...this movie aims to overwhelm us.
An abundance of great,classic,love stories find their way into Moulin Rouge ( ie: La Boheme, Wuthering Heights, Romeo & Julliet...)and coupled with modern day Love Songs....brings it into the realm of brilliant entertainment ( Come What May, indeed!).
Granted, the opening sequences might turn off more viewers than not...but for the persevering ones...a rich tapestry of a movie awaits.
