Very entertaining, great soundtrack

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2002)

When I heard about Moulin Rouge for the first time I wasn't really planning on watching it. I'm not a big fan of musicals but when I saw the film, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Moulin Rouge was a very entertaining feature and I enjoyed every bit of it. Perhaps the length of the film could have been shortened. Luhrmann has done a great job in combining a story set in 1900 with a modern soundtrack. Full marks to Nicole Kidman on a good performance. She has had a good year as far as films are concerned with 'The Others' also being critically appreciated. She is also a surprisingly good singer, and so is Ewan McGregor! A must-watch for any musical film fan.
