An Opulent Film Worth More than Critics Gave

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2002)

Moulin Rouge! was a wonderful film- daring , exquisite , and insightful. The close resemblance to opera or operetta was quite striking to me. Some of the images linger long after the film is over: the turning windmill , the close-ups of the actors , the lighting, and the fireworks that reinforced the emotional moods.Wonderfully acted by Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor , this was a movie to savor especially in our troubled times. The themes still are needed to remind us of the worthwhile values in life: truth , freedom , beauty , and most of all- Love.
