Spectacular, spectacular!!

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2002)

When Moulin Rouge first came out, it didn't appeal to me at all! To be honest, the advertisement did not do the film justice. I decided to watch it though round a friends house to see what all the fuss was about, and i was hooked from the very beginning!
It is a story of truth, beauty, freedom and above all love! It tells the story of french night club star, Satine (Nicole Kidman) who tries to impress a Duke, but at the same time falls in love with a penniless writer, Christian (Ewan McGregor). Their secret affair brings with it excitement and tragedy!
The music in Moulin Rouge is one of the best soundtracks i have heard, and includes the hit song Come What May. The costumes and dance sequences take your breath away and the acting is superb!
If you didn't see Moulin Rouge at the cinema, rent it out on video as soon as you can!!
