Baz Outdoes Himself Once Again

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2001)

Ignore the media critics who are more than willing to applaud the particulars of Moulin Rouge, but seem afraid to simply say "I liked it" (e.g. Joe Morgenstern's review in the Wall Street Journal). This is a brilliant, unique, wonderful, satisfying movie experience. You can't just watch this film, you get involved in it. For maximum benefit, set aside your expectations and give yourself over to the mezmerizing joy of this exceptional work of art.
