Incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (26 September 2001)

Um.. wow. When I first watched it on a big screen with larger than life sound, I was slightly turned off at parts. Maybe I couldn't take in all the information and process it in such a short time that the director allowed. Maybe I was trying to apply past experiences to this new one, and failing. By the end of the movie I was going over what I had just seen and I was stunned. Stunned by the skill of the director. How does one, or many for that matter, orchestrate such a magnificent scene, such as Christian's first night at the Moulin Rouge? Then how does one string hundreds of similar scenes together to form such a `Spectacular Spectacular' Movie?
I keep going back to the first bedroom scene where Satine and Christian fall in love and think to myself. Oh my god, I really like that Elton John song. I must have replayed that scene a hundred times by now. For this scene alone it is worth buying this movie.
