This film reassures me that creativity is yet alive in Hollywood!

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2001)

I saw Moulin Rouge the other day and I have to say I was taken by the sheer "Spectacular Spectacular" production that was before me. I am a young film buff and have grown tired of the uninspired, money-driven stories that flood the local multiplexes, so a movie as original and exciting as this is a breathe of fresh air. I had no idea Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor could sing! Just the sheer splendor of the movie had me on cloud nine for the entire length of the picture. (For some reason I could watch Nicole Kidman do anything onscreen for days without getting tired.) Everything was excellent. In the season of mindless shoot-em ups and sci-fi blunders, and would-be comedies, it's refreshing to see a creative movie bold enough to tango with the likes of Pearl Harbor and The Mummy Returns.
