Cinematic masterpiece: a mesh of colour, movement and vision

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2001)

This film, definitely one of Baz Lurhmann's finest, is a brilliant combination of all the elements that make a good film. I'll keep this review short as you really should just go experience it for yourself, but I want to say that it is undoubtedly a piece of cinema history. The style of the photography, the art direction, the performances, and, yes...the music all combine in a surprisingly moving film. Make your own mind up over this one, and don't just listen to what others say. It must be seen before it can be liked or disliked.
