A Splendid Extravanganza!

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2009)

Moulin Rouge is a movie which i had been planning to watch for many years now,from the day it released.I recently rented the two disc DVD edition of the movie and it was a wonderful musical indulgent. I admire musicals as they are just a joy to watch and moulin rouge delivers the best music of it times. All the songs are well crafted and performed,Nicole has performed close to 5 songs and so has even McGregor along with her for two songs. The Story as it claims is about freedom truth beauty and love(hope i got all four rite!) and yes it tries to capture them all together with Paris' very own Moulin Rouge in the background. The costume and stage set up is really awe inspiring and the make up for characters brings in the grandeur the director had in mind. The movie is a real treat to the eyes and also to the soul with all the love in the air.Catch this movie if u haven't,after all its "THE REVENGE OF THE MUSICALS" time now!
