Devastating!

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2003)

This is the second time I have seen Moulin Rouge. I can easily say that it is an amazing film! If you have not seen it... rent it or buy the DVD. After seeing Nicole Kidman's work on this film, I believe she will walk away with the Oscar this year for The Hours (as the Academy sometimes does). Her role was incredible and she did a fantastic job in it. Her singing along with Ewan Macgregor's is amazing. They had so much chemistry going on. I can't believe he was overlooked by the Academy last year! This is a film that explodes with color... and energy.. romance.. despair.. and of course love. I can't say enough about this movie. Yes.. it is an MTV style film, but the editing, the cinematography and originality (even thought they use old songs) are all top rate! I am very glad that I own this film in my DVD collection. 9 stars out of 10!
