The beauty and truth of Moulin Rouge

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2002)

How to begin to describe the way that Moulin Rouge will make you feel? This movie breathes of sentiment. Baz Luhrmann created a masterpiece, a story about love that will make you laugh, cry and most important feel. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are incredible, I can't imagine a more perfect couple and their presence will remain in your mind and heart for a long time. Everything in this movie is so rich: acting, music, choreography, scenery, sentiment. The movie itself is a feast for the eyes and the music is perfectly combined with the scenes that accompanies. Baz Luhrmann has pushed musicals one step beyond. The whole film is grand and you can easily understand how much time, hard work and love was spent in every detail. Apart of its perfection the strength of the film comes from its powerful story, its theatrical feeling and the alchemy of Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mc Gregor. I feel that I can't really express the impact that this movie had on me, it's being a long time since a work of art moved me so much. Baz Luhrmann offers us a great gift, if you believe that there are things that can lift your spirit higher, shake you and awaken your heart and soul, this is one of them.
