Moulin Rouge is a modern masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2001)

Moulin Rouge is a cinematic marvel of modern editing techniques and classic Movie Musical flair. Combining the pageantry and wonder of the movie musicals of the 40's and 50's with the digital effects of today, Moulin Rouge manages a visual masterpiece that can only be described as tasty eye candy. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman are surprisingly good in their vocals, lifting common pop songs from the past couple of decades to an elevated Musical Score format. The film plays at a quick pace that may be difficult for the older viewing audience to grasp, but is definitely in line with what today's younger audience comes to expect from combined music and video. I strongly recommend this film to anyone who likes creativity and love stories.
