you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love it!!

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2002)

This film is stupendous! There's absolutely no mistaking the director's style, if you're familiar with his other work. This time, he uses the glitz and glamour of the Musical, and I think it works better than his Romeo & Juliet. I enjoyed that film, but Moulin Rouge is leaps and bounds better.
Everything seems fresh and innovative, and as Ewan Macgregor's character says: "if you're open, I think you might enjoy it."
so go in with no expectations: this is NOT your typical musical, it is Not your typical movie, it is simply divine!!
