An interesting hit clip

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2017)

Christian, a young bohemian poet, arrives in Paris with no means. He falls in love with Satin, a captivating lead dancer at the Moulin Rouge. The young woman is not insensitive to the young man, but she is not indifferent either to the Duke, a boisterous extremely-rich bourgeois, who could provide for her future indefinitely. The two men's favors fall short at the end of the movie, where Satin dies on stage of pneumonia.
If the intrigue is platitudinous, the romance flat and no languish, the characters have no depth - the realization of this piece is quite admirable as it delivers the apotheosis of the esthetic video-clip, minced and glittering. Despite being outrageously tacky, it's a successful musical and the criticism should be softened.
