This one is not for everyone, just those who love music and movies.

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2001)

A dazzling and dizzying delight to the senses. Moulin Rouge is an unexpected homage to the 20th century songbook that's fantastic as a fairy tale and familiar as a cherished LP. Don't be surprised if you find yourself breathless at one moment and weeping the next. This movie is a thrilling carnival ride and classic musical tragedy rolled up into one. The fusion of soundtrack, visuals and plot is nothing short of deft craftsmanship. I don't mean to be vague but to give specific details would be to take away from the surprising pleasures that await. I can say that this ride left me completely satisfied.
