A brilliant cinematic masterpiece. Director Baz Luhrmann is a genius!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2005)

This is my favorite movie of all time. It's clever, different and visually stunning. The idea of using modern songs in a 19th century musical may sound like an awful idea, but it turns out beautifully, because the songs are modified to the actor singing them. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor give some of their best performances in this film, as well as showing off their incredible musical talents. This is a movie you can watch over and over again without it ever getting old. It shows the time period like we've never seen it before and tells a romantic story through the famous Moulin Rouge nightclub. In my opinion it's one of the most romantic films ever and will forever hold a place in cinematic history.
