Brilliant use of romance, absurdist and music

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2001)

Moulin Rouge was a fantastic film that brilliantly used music from artists like Nirvana, U2, Elton John and The Police. The songs were incredible, the set(typical of Luhrmann's shows) was an over-the-top spectacular show and the acting was first-class. Nicole Kidman gave probably the weakest performace of the cast and she was excellent. Ewan McGregor gave arguably the best performance of his short career, and the entire cast brought in a remarkably powerful performance. If you like romance, drama, absurdist comedy or popular music, this is the film for you!
