Best film I've seen in a long time!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2001)

"Moulin Rouge" is a classic story of love overcoming social and political obstacles, but is told with a very different twist. A period setting with modern music hightening every scene. The funny thing about it is....it works! Whoever arranged all the music deserves an Oscar, and even though we're only halfway through the year, expect "Moulin Rouge" to get a few Oscar nods in Costume Design and make up. The cinematography is like a theme park ride taking you through the streets of Paris and into the characters windows, and with more close ups the actors to really make you feel like your sitting right next to them. If you haven't seen this film yet, what are you waiting for? I've seen it three times and each time the audience applauds, which is something I haven't seen in a long time! So go, and don't take it too seriously. The film is a very entertaining ride through the wild nightlife of 20th century Paris.
