One of the worst films I have ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (4 January 2002)

The critical acclaim for this abomination boggles my mind. The casting is atrocious (fresh-scrubbed Nicole Kidman as the sensual, consumptive Satine?), the deliberate anachronisms (the Sound of Music? Elton John?) are a pathetic and woefully inadequate substitute for creativity, and the singing stinks. What's to like?
