Quite simply breathtaking !

Never before have I seen such a classic story about star crossed lovers told in such an original and captivating way. Right from the start when we are thrust into a CG Paris, straight past the Eiffel tower and into the Moulin Rouge, you know what kind of film it is going to be. A colourful, beautiful film that manages to be side splittingly funny and heart wrenchingly tragic at the same time. This is a true masterpiece that confirms Baz Luhrman is just getting better and better.
