Surprise - Surprise

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2001)

I went in without major expectations. I read many comments about the film and most of them dealt with the performance of Nicole - so I wanted to know.... In some aspects I can understand some criticism about some missing emotions in her character, but at the bottom line it was a real positive surprise. Ewan McGregor is great and the other characters are so strong!
Also the colours, the cuts and the music is extraordinary.
Such a great idea to bring modern songs in the time of the Moulin Rouge in the 20s.
