Audiovisual appeal

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2003)

Moulin Rouge is a very pleasant movie to watch. It's style over content the good way. A glamorous cast and a great music add to the overall feel. It evolves as a fairy tale where even the evil is presented in a non-disturbing manner to the audience. There might be nothing more than an excuse of a plot, but chances are you won't notice it since Nicole and Ewan do their best to outshine it.
