After I saw this movie, I could think of only 2 words to describe it - CLEVER and BRILLIANT. Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor are amazing in the lead roles. Jim Broadbent and John Leguizamo are excellent in their very funny supporting roles as well. They can all sing, they can dance and they show such passion and emotion throughout. The music is incredible! I never buy soundtracks to films, but after seeing this film, I just had to have it. I have seen it twice now and would recommend this film to anyone who likes music, dancing, romance, comedy and quirky Being John Malkovich type humor. You never know Baz Luhrman is going to do next. Being inside his mind would be the wildest ride. The film is visually stunning from the Elephant to his take on 1900 Paris. If you like "different" and "extraordinary" then this is the movie for you.
