A post-modern masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2001)

Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge" is a dizzying, completely over-the-top post-modern masterpiece of filmmaking. Daring, funny, tragic and above all exhilarating , this hyperactive musical is the shot in the arm filmgoers will desperately need after suffering through the latest bloated corpse of hype passing itself off as a movie. This film may not be for all tastes, but for those who are willing to try something daring and different, you will not be disappointed.
