I think that the "El Tango de Roxanne" scene may be the finest ever filmed. Period! Ewan McGregor shows such a breadth and depth in this movie. His other work has showcased his range, but never has one picture shown all of it. Nicole Kidman was a revelation. I'd never thought of her much one way or the other before this movie, but she was wonderful. The supporting cast were all brilliant.
If there aren't at least Academy Award nominations for the 6 or 7 main characters, Baz Luhrman, set design, costumes and best song; then there is no justice in the world.
