A spectacular reinvention of the movie musical

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2020)

'Moulin Rouge!' glitters with such bold decisions. It is a sumptuous feast for ear and eye featuring gorgeous costumes, intricate sets, and outlandishly choreographed dance numbers. The music is rapturous with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman's voices compliment each other and the story perfectly. Above all, the movie has a solid, deeply sincere emotional core about love and loss. 'Moulin Rouge!,' quite simply, a spectacular reinvention of the movie musical.
