Contemporary music was pointless and why no Art?

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2001)

There is a more than adequate repetoire of music from the turn of the century that would have been entertaining and appropriate to the storyline. The use of contemporary music was pointless and annoying. However, other than this significant flaw, Moulin Rouge was an entertaining film. It would have been nice to have some exposure to the wonderful art of the period by Toulouse-Lautrec as he was a significant character in the film.
