Whore-houses really were about the music

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2004)

Moulin Rouge takes us back to a time of gin, satin, short skits, the can-can, and tophats, Its about a time when the audience after the film isn't quite sure about what they just saw. Perhaps they are thinking, "It was like 'Chicago' on LSD", or "Was that crossdresser really the guy who played Faramir in 'Lord of the Rings'?" Such questions and comments are bound to be asked. This is because Moulin Rouge is a unique film that combines great music with utter absudity.

It's probably worth the rental price only if you are a fan of musicals. If not, skip it.
Grade: B-
