A Remarkable Experience

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2004)

When I went to the cinema with my partner to watch Moulin Rouge, I was not looking forward to it. To me it started off really weird and was tempted to leave within ten mins. but then the music kicked in and BAM! i was hooked.

The music was sensational. Some of them were mixed with different love songs and strolled along beautifully. The more upbeat songs had the feet tapping to the beats.
The movie was well coordinated with colour. It managed to set the right mood levels from glamour to sad scenes. Truly remarkable.
The acting was of the highest calibre and some actually song the songs which helped blend then film together.
It also had it's sad moments and it is advised to take some tissues in with you for the tearful persons.
Owning this now on DVD, it has been played more than average and rightly so. A truly wonderful experience and a great musical which will live long in the history of cinema.
