A surrealistic movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2001)

I have read all the reviews, most of them praising Moulin Rouge at the highest possible level. I have to be honest: the movie is beautiful and I'm glad I saw it, but the majority of the scenes are so brief and so fast that it's difficult to appreciate the beauty of the film. There is a great chemistry between Kidman and McGregor and their performance is truly unique. The movie is very surrealistic and I prefer more traditional movies. My recommendation: see Moulin Rouge because it will be a new experience and it's worth it.
