wow!absolutely fantastic and moving!

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2001)

Having failed to be moved by many recent epics like Titanic, I was a little sceptical about Moulin Rouge, but as soon as it began my preconceptions were shattered!Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor were fantastic!everything from the way they looked together to their harmonies were a sign of brilliant casting. Luhrman shows his theatrical style of directing with some really OTT scenes but these also fitted well, the idea of the "play within the play" echoed the tragedy!I cried from beginning to end and all the way home but would recommend it to anyone, even those (like me) who do not usually enjoy this type of film!
