Best Film In A Long Time

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2003)

This is the first, and to date, ONLY film that I have seen that has ever provoked me to comment on. One of the few masterpieces of this new era of films (1995 onward), Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! has captivated my soul. It is the only film that has evoked every possible emotion out of me. For those who haven't seen the film, please note that there may be some things spoiled in the next few sentences.
I laughed with the bohemians, was smitten and totally in love with Christians and Satine, felt the burning rage and jealousy of Christian as his love was toyed with, was as genuinely torn apart as Satine as she balanced true love with her career, and admittedly cried when Satine died, leaving Christian to bear it all.
I strongly recommend this film to anyone and everyone. In it's lavishness is the pure and unadulterated love story that will surely leave you spellbound and breathless when leaving the theatre.
