Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2005)

A young writer called Christian comes to Paris. There he meets Tolous and gets a job writing for the show "spectacular spectacular". Christian visits the Moulin rouge where he falls in love with the star, Satine. Satine mistakes Christian for the duke and falls in love with him. As the film goes on, they face many challenges to keep their love a secret and the duke interested. At the end Satine realises that Christian is in great danger. She makes him believe she doesn't love him and sends him away. But Christian comes back. When the show is over, the duke is out of the way and Setain and Christian are no longer needing to hide their love, everything looks great. Until the tragedy of Satine dying comes along. This film is the best musical i have ever watched. The songs get stuck in my mind. Better actors could not have been chosen.
