A stunning visual extravaganza

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2001)

Not being a great musicals fan, I didn't expect to be overly impressed by Moulin Rouge. However, from the opening scene it was clear that this was no ordinary musical. The sometimes overwhelming mix of colour, sound and psychedelic imagery was just fantastic. A tour de force of imagination, glorious photography and brilliant set-pieces.
You'll either love it or hate it - but don't pre-judge it. Go see for yourself.
