A bad night in Manhatten

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2001)

On holiday in NY and faced with a dearth of appealing movies, we went to see Moulin Rouge. Bad mistake. One of the worst films I've ever seen.
It is no more than a string of music videos put together in the hope that it will make a coherent film. It doesn't!
I loved Strictly Ballroom but that had plot and didn't just rely on visual effects.
The danger signs were there in Romeo and Juliet. Everything shot at a frenetic pace, complete unwillingness to slow down and let things develop.
