Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2001)

I fell in love with this movie the first time I watched it. At first the movie felt weird and fast paced. The catchy songs, beautiful dancing and costumes, and the specticals of the sets were amazing. The love story of Satine and Christian is timeless and very moving. I fell in love with Nicole Kidman's character and the way she portrayed Satine. Both Ewan and Nicole have suprisingly beautiful and passionate voices that the first time I watched the musical, I doubted it was even them singing, like they were actors lip-singing to a pre-recorded tape. McGregor's final scene with Nicole is the best I've seen him act. His heart felt emotion he portrayed needs a 2002 Oscar nomination. He's one of my favorite actors because of that very role. Nicole Kidman is timeless herself and with this part as Satine under her belt, she'll only be ever more successful in her acting career.
